Quality

“Wow! Wow! Came to the Grange Wednesday evening to see your production of Man of La Mancha. Saw it elsewhere. Have seen tons of plays all over the country, Broadway productions, etc. Nothing has moved me as your production. The set was remarkable, quality of voices was breathtaking, but perhaps most of all, it seemed the whole cast bought into the premise of the play – the importance of hope and belief. Each scene was perfect. Saw it with my 14 year old grandson – a caring, sensitive young man. Quite possibly, he may have just seen the best play he will ever see. Thank you.” —Gerri Palmer

“I suppose I could go to New York and pay $60 to see an ok production of The Wiz but why should I when I can see a superior performance in Bar Mills?”
—Brian Hodgkin

Diversity

“I’m drawn to everything you do because your group has the courage to try unconventional things, challenges the popular appetite for safe and familiar materials, and approach the Arts in an eclectic, egalitarian way. The people you have at Tickets and Concessions are warm, friendly advocates for your enterprise and you don’t presume that your guests need elevating. It is also critically important that you continue to offer performances and performers of every kind without regard to age, sex, color, sexual orientation and the like. At the Saco River Grange Hall, I can reasonably expect to see a healthy, invigorating oleo of colors, ages, ideas, philosophies and approach to staging. That to me is progressive theater. It must be preserved, here in Maine and everywhere we can find it.” —Ross Batchelder

Atmosphere

“On Thursday evening the ghosts of Charles Ives surely dwelt in the low tower of the old Universalist chapel by the bend in the river... he surely listened again to the sounds of music bringing different bands, different cultures, different human worlds together: Ives and Schubert, Berlin and Bar Mills, great music and good people. What a beautiful moment. What a gift...” —John Hines, USM Philosophy Dept.
