Theater Thursdays and Peter Pan at Lincoln Theater
Do you do Meatless Monday as often as possible? Is Taco Tuesday a new family tradition? The Lincoln Theater in Damariscotta would like to encourage you to consider a different form of alliterative day-of-the-week nourishment—Theater Thursday.
Beginning on Thursday, June 8, and for six Thursdays in June and July, The Lincoln Theater, in conjunction with National Theatre Live, offers front-row seats to world class London productions of great plays featuring brilliant acting, direction, and stage design.
Take advantage of these glorious, affordable opportunities to enrich your family’s life with great theater. The schedule is as follows: “Obsession” stars Jude Law in a new stage adaptation of the 1943 Visconti film; Saturday, June 10 at 10 a.m., it’s NT Live’s presentation of the beloved childhood classic “Peter Pan,” a wonderfully theatrical riot of magic, acrobatics, music, and make-believe. Peter Pan is a hipster. Captain Hook is a woman. Everyone can fly!
On Thursday, June 22 at 2 and 7 p.m.: See “Salomé.” An occupied desert nation. A radical from the wilderness on hunger strike. This urgent, hypnotic production turns the infamous biblical tale on its head, placing the young woman we call Salomé at the center of a revolution.
Thursday, June 29th at 2 and 7 p.m., “Amadeus stars Lucian Msamati (Luther, Game of Thrones) as Salieri, featuring live orchestral accompaniment by the Southbank Sinfonia.

On July 20 at 2 and 7 p.m. its “Angels in America Part 1 Millennium Approaches,” Tony Kushner’s landmark Pulitzer Prize-winning play set in the midst of the 1980’s AIDS crisis.
