SINGING MAGGIE MAY’S PRAISES’
I know I keep you amused…
Six more performances of this uplifting, empowering play about a
heartbreaking subject. Please join us for the American Premiere of this
extraordinary play.
“Audiences will walk out of Maggie May with a smile on their face and
optimism in their hearts. And that is something I certainly did not expect
when I sat down to watch this production.”-Jess Hoffman/Berkshire On Stage
“He sings to her and as typical, while she may not recall events of the
last moments or days, her brain is still able to pull from its as yet
uncluttered deep past, the words and music of the life they shared. Those
moments usually end up in either fits of laughter or tenderness, sometimes
both.”- Bill Kellert/ Nippertown
“The ending is not a funeral. It is surprising that the final scene (which
I won’t spoil here) is almost one of — dare I say it, joy as magical
thinking wraps Maggie in a cloak of care as she arms herself with weapons
for the journey that lies ahead.”-Matt Moross/The Daily Gazette of
Schenectady
“You end up leaving the theater with the realization that despite life’s
challenges and the certainty of death, life itself can be joyous and the
little things, a Harry Potter book, trivia night with friends, a well
cooked ham, and a memorable song, make it all worth living.”-Joanna
Peterson Palladino Resnick/RadioradioX
“‘Maggie May’ is by turns funny and poignant, tackling a heartbreaking
topic without breaking our hearts. ACT is, as always, a terrific setting,
so small that every seat in the house is great.”-Katie Beltramo/Kids Out

Name: Area theater veteran Putterman Hoffmann has never been better. Feisty, funny and fierce, her Maggie is a force of nature that would stand tall and unfazed in a hurricane. But with the blink of an .png.jpeg
