It was a date night for my wife and I. We had purchased tickets before hand and picked up at will call about an hour before the show. While we waited we took a short walk to Baxter Brew Pub for a snack. When we arrived back at the Public Theatre we had tickets in hand and proceeded to the entrance where an usher helped us to our seats. We had a middle row seat and my wife had a great view. I had to imagine half of the stage as there was a fairly large head in my way. It's all good after all this is date night and these situations make for a good laugh later on. The show was great fun and we felt comfortable. Apparently, we attended a show that was a record sellout for the theatre. Amenities at the theatre include a concession with drinks and friendly service. I hope to go back as this was my first impression and I felt really good about my experience.

Smaller theater with 310 seats. Normally produces plays but is doing a co-production with Maine State Music theater of the musical GREASE. Free parking next to the theatre. Concessions sell beer, wine, coffee, bottled water, cookies and more. Last night was a free wine tasting. Great volunteers and staff. Go and enjoy.

The Public Theatre offers incredibly well performed plays starring Equity actors and actresses. The plays are always engaging and entertaining; ticket prices are reasonably priced. I highly recommend The Public Theatre!

The theater is small, so the view is good from any angle. Easy to find parking. Friendly staff. Clean. Both shows I've seen have been excellent!

Questions & Answers

Why does this say the theater is closed till noon on Saturday when there is a show tonight? Is there a problem?

Hi. It is very difficult to keep irregular hours up-to date online. We have a very complex schedule. The theatre opens at noon on show days (Tues-Sun) and the building is open until the show comes down. The Box Office is open from 12-5 on Monday, a non-performance day. When the show ends on June 30. Our Box Office will not have regular hours. But our Business Office will be open 9-4:30 Mon-Thurs. We struggle with this as there are many online places that want to post our hours. You can always call us at 782-3200. You can be sure that if you are coming to a show, we are open.
