November 1 - 18
by Stephen Temperley, Maine Premiere
Starring Liz McCartney and Bob Stillman
Directed by Brian P. Allen

Based on the life of Florence Foster Jenkins, a patroness of the arts, who fancied herself a singer. She sold out Carnegie Hall in a record three hours; however, she couldn't carry a tune in a bucket! This very funny play is also sweet and extremely touching. Souvenir was a hit last season on Broadway.

Liz McCartney has performed leading roles on Broadway in Mamma Mia! (Rosie), Thoroughly Modern Mille (Miss Flannery), Taboo (creating the role of Sue), Dance of the Vampires (Innkeepers Wife) and Phantom of the Opera (opera diva Carlotta).  She made her Broadway debut in Les Miserables.  Ms. McCartney performed the role of Florence Foster Jenkins to great acclaim in the George Street Playhouse’s production of Souvenir.
 
Bob Stillman has received two Tony Award nominations, one for his performance in Dirty Blonde and the other for his contributions to the score of Urban Cowboy.  Mr. Stillman just completed the Broadway run of Grey Gardens where he created the role of George Gould Strong.  His other Broadway credits include:  Souvenir, Grand Hotel and Kiss of the Spider Woman.  He has a CD of original songs available entitled Come Down Angel.
