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.

Rescheduled: Dear Maine: The Trials and Triumphs of Maine’s 21st Century ImmigrantsPejepscot History Center presents Dear Maine: The Trials and Triumphs of Maine’s 21st Century Immigrants with speaker and author Reza Jalali, Executive Director of Greater Portland Immigrant Welcome Center, and Morgan Rielly, Maine State Representative. Published in December by Islandport Press, the book Dear Maine recounts the experiences of twenty immigrants who have arrived in Maine over the past few decades. Compiled by Jalali, an Iranian Kurd and former refugee, and Morgan Rielly, a Bowdoin College graduate who worked abroad with Syrian and Iraqi refugees while a student, the stories featured in the book highlight how much recent immigrants to Maine have enriched their communities. Jalali and Rielly will share some of the stories from the book and talk about we can embrace and support the New Mainers that have arrived in the Greater Brunswick area over the past couple of years, thereby weaving them into the historical narrative of immigration to the Pejepscot region. The book features black and white photographic portraits by Lilit Danielyan, originally from Armenia and Kazakhstan. 2pm on Saturday, February 26, 2022 via ZOOM. Visit: https://pejepscothistorical.org/events/talks-presentations to register today. $5 for PHC Members, $8 for the General Public.
