Snowlion Rep, a nonprofit professional theater company in Portland, will host its first ever fundraiser on Friday, Dec. 7 at the Portland Ballet Studio Theater. The fundraiser will feature the following: wine, beer or something softer in abundance, varied dishes to sample from sweet to savory, silent auction on artwork, raffle.
The audience will learn all about this iconic character actress and her remarkable life in Maine, in Hollywood, and beyond. “My Witch: The Margaret Hamilton Stories” explores how a gentle kindergarten teacher from Cleveland scared the living daylights out of every last one of us .... and the brains, heart, and courage it took to be America's character woman.
Starring New York's Jean Tafler (member AEA), this is a one-time-only opportunity to see this show in staged reading format before it goes on to future productions.
Snowlion Rep's first ever fundraiser will be held at Portland Ballet Studio Theater, 517 Forest Avenue, Portland. Doors open 6 pm and the performance of My Witch: The Margaret Hamilton Stories starts at 7 p.m.
