Photo Flash: MSMT Accepts BWW Critic's Choice Best of Maine 2017 Award

Members of the staff of Maine State Music Theatre gathered to accept the 2017 Broadway World Critic's Choice Award. For the fifth year in a row MSMT has headed the list of Maine theatre producing extraordinary work. Maine editor Carla Maria Verdino-Sullwold's citation praised the company's "amazing trajectory into the stratosphere, producing a 2017 that somehow astonishingly managed to top the previous blockbuster season in artistic merit and audience appeal." Artistic Director Curt Dale Clark said the acknowledgement was made him "very happy" and he was "grateful to everyone at Broadway World."

The other theatres on the list included the Good Theater, MadHorse Theatre (2nd), Ogunquit Playhouse (3rd), Portland Stage (4th), and Lyric Music Theatre of Portland (5th).
