FleeFlee at Frontier Wed Feb 9 | 1pm, 4pm, 7pm In FLEE, the Grand Jury Prize winner at this year’s Sundance Festival, filmmaker Jonas Poher Rasmussen tells a poignant story of belonging and the search for identity. Amin’s life has been defined by his past and a secret he’s kept for over 20 years. Forced to leave his home country of Afghanistan as a young child with his mother and siblings, Amin now grapples with how his past will affect his future in Denmark and the life he is building with his soon-to-be husband. Told brilliantly through the use of animation to protect his identity, Amin looks back over his life, opening up for the first time about his past, his trauma, the truth about his family, and his acceptance of his own sexuality.

Online Youth Classes at The Theater Project“Monster Got Your Back” Radio Play – AGES 9-12 This online class will be held on Zoom and use other online platforms to create a radio play! TTP alum Audrey Burns will use theater games, warm-ups and acting basics to bring to life the script “Monster Got Your Back” written by Putnam Smith. SATURDAYS JANUARY 29th – MARCH 12th, 10:00 AM- 11:00 AM $60 Synopsis: Meet Zeeta, her younger brother Wolf, and her cousin Wren— just a few kids trying to enjoy a hot summer day on the beach. There are rumors circulating, however, about the legend of a monster who lives in the caves at the far end of the be ach. Rumors, of course, often prove to be untrue. In this case, as our friends are about to discover, the truth turns out to be a little more complicated than separating fact from fiction, the natural from the supernatural. The truth about the reality of monsters turns out to be a lot closer to home. Audrey Burns is a native Mainer currently living in Portland, ME. She studied Theater a
nd Rhetoric, Film & Screen Studies at Bates College and graduated with honors in Acting in 2017. Audrey now works at her alma mater in Admission. She recently joined the Theater Project board in 2021, and has been thrilled to reconnect with the community that first exposed her to the joys of acting and creating onstage! Audrey enjoys knitting, live music, and adventuring through Maine.
