Rotary Night to Follow 'LET IT BE' at the Ogunquit Playhouse, May 26

The Ogunquit Playhouse is joining forces with Rotary International once again to help eradicate polio worldwide by 2018. The annual Rotary Night is scheduled for Thursday, May 26, 2016, for the evening performance of Let It Be: A Celebration of the Music of The Beatles. All are welcome to join in the fight; a portion of every ticket purchased for that evening's performance will be donated to Rotary International. The Ogunquit Playhouse has contributed close to $10,000 towards this cause from the Rotary Night ticket proceeds over the past five years.

The fight to end polio is led by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, which includes Rotary International, UNICEF, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and governments of the world, with the support of many others around the globe.

"We are so close to eradicating polio. A polio-free world could be achieved by 2018," said Kevin Raymond of York Rotary. "While polio is a crippling and potentially fatal infectious disease, for under $1 a child can be vaccinated for life. Rotary raises funds to make sure every child receives access to the polio vaccine. We must continue to immunize wherever and whenever the threat of polio exists. Thanks to the Gates Foundation, every Rotary dollar raised is matched 2 for 1. By attending this special show, you can help achieve a polio-free world. I hope you will join us."

The international smash hit direct from London's West End and Broadway, Let It Be - A Celebration of the Music of The Beatles is rocking the stage from May 18 to June 11. This exciting tribute show follows the Fab Four's meteoric rise from their humble beginnings in Liverpool's Cavern Club, through the heights of Beatlemania, to their later studio masterpieces. Let It Be is jam-packed with over forty of The Beatles' greatest hits including "Twist and Shout," "She Loves You," and "Drive My Car," as well as global mega-hits "Yesterday," "Hey Jude," "Come Together," and, of course, "Let It Be."
