Many people will remember Taxing Maine, the award-winning play about the history of state taxes that toured 34 Maine sites in 2006. Now The Theater at Monmouth’s David Greenham and Dennis Price are back, this time to tackle the many issues facing our state as we move into the future in an audience-engaging performance/discussion that will surely bring chills and thrills (and perhaps raise hackles) across the state.
Using different historical characters, humor, little known facts, thought-provoking stories and current material gathered from the general public, the play will explore the issues of growth and development in Maine. The performance will encourage the audience to consider how history, customs and attitudes influence the way we think about change and growth in our state, and about individual preferences in relation to the common good.
Following each performance, the actors will engage the audience in a discussion of the ideas raised in the play, giving audience members an opportunity to reflect on and share their thoughts about the issues that were examined in the performance and what they have heard and seen.
