"We wanted to do something to help combat the long Maine winter. Presenting shows that are comedic and touching seemed like a great way to treat patrons to something upbeat and fun during winter," says Good Theater Artistic Director, Brian P. Allen. "Think of it as Good Theater bringing a little warmth to the cold Maine winter."

THE MAY QUEEN is set in an insurance office in Kingston, NY. The five very wacky characters who inhabit the Vallor Group Insurance Agency will delight and tickle audiences with their antics as the real story of the new temp in the office comes to light.

For tickets to either or both shows, patrons may call the box office at 207-885-5883 or go to Good Theater's website, www.goodtheater.com to order tickets on line.

THE MAY QUEEN had its initial production at the Chautauqua Theatre Company. The show has been seen at the Geva Theatre in Rochester, NY; the Cape Playhouse in Dennis, MA and the Playmaker's Rep in North Carolina.
