BANGOR “Flyin’ Solo,” an autobiographical theatrical memoir featuring 12 actors and performed live remotely will be available online from Thursday, Jan. 21, through Sunday, Feb. 7, presented by the Penobscot Theatre Company.
In the style defined by the likes of Spalding Gray, Eric Bogosian, Eddie Izzard and Whoopie Goldberg, Flyin Solo brings personal stories to life all written and performed by the actor. “I was involved in quite a bit of solo performance as a young actor,” said producing artistic director Bari Newport. “It is a very specific writing and performing style that is more than just storytelling. It is a powerful performance and creation method that I have wanted to share with our actors and audience since I arrived nine years ago. COVID made it possible!”

Penobscot’s Ken Stack has played Scrooge for the past several years, and this year you’ll hear his voice and narration merged with a Czechoslovakian marionette cast of characters atop a wondrous toy theater set.
