Belfast Maskers to Perform Lerner & Loewe’s Musical, Brigadoon Outdoor Productions in Belfast and Searsport in July and August

Belfast, Maine - The Belfast Maskers continue their twenty-fifth anniversary theatre season with open-air performances of the musical Brigadoon, by Lerner and Loewe in July and August. This lively show is the central production of the company’s celebratory season with music, dance, live farm animals and humor in a magical evening of theatre.

The musical is set in the fictitious Scottish hamlet of Brigadoon, an enchanted village that is unchanging and unknown to the outside world except for one day every 100 years. Two visitors from New York stumble upon the village on its special centennial day and the town’s magical spell is put in jeopardy.

Brigadoon performances will be held at Steamboat Landing Park in Belfast from Thursday through Sunday, July 26 - 29 at 7 p.m. Searsport performances will be held outside at the Town Hall (Union Hall), Thursday through Sunday, August 2 - 5 at 7 p.m. Admission for all performances is $18 for adults; $10 for teens; and $5 for children 5-12. Tickets are available by calling 338-9668 or at the venue 1 hour before performances. In Belfast, advance tickets may also be purchased at Out of the Woods (48 Main Street). In Searsport, advance tickets may also be purchased at Gallery 37 (37 Main Street). For more information, please call 338-9668.
