Talk-back with Michael J. Bobbitt

  • The Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine 250 Thompson's Point Road Portland, ME 04102 (map)

Join Blueberries for Sal: The Musical playwright Michael J. Bobbitt for a talk-back on Sunday, July 31st at 4pm. Bobbitt will be joined by members of the cast and production team. Attendance is FREE but RSVPS are required.

 

"If you can imagine, adapting a well-known beloved children's book into a musical already comes with a lot of pressure. With only a few visits to Maine and a lot of research, my co-writes and I wanted to get the spirit of the book, the spirit of Maine and find a way to bring these characters to life - characters that every child and parent in Maine probably personified in their own minds. I hope we did Maine, the McClosky's and especially Sal proud."

 

Audience members from the performance are encouraged to stay and join the discussion. Talk-back attendees do not need to attend the performance to attend the talk-back. The talk-back RSVP is not a ticket to the performance. This is a special, after-hours event that does not grant access to the rest of the Museum & Theatre. Performance tickets and Museum visits can be booked separately.
