Two worlds. One writer. Zero easy exits.
When New York novelist Stine is lured to Hollywood to adapt his detective stories for the silver screen, he trades the gritty East Coast for a land of perennial sunshine and palm trees. But the real drama happens off-page. The Tony Award-winning City of Angels seamlessly weaves between two worlds: the vivid Technicolor reality of 1940s Hollywood and the gritty, black-and-white film noir of Stine’s imagination. As his fictional detective navigates a world of shadows, Stine faces his own dangerous temptations—sultry distractions, the hollow promise of fame, and the relentless pressure to compromise his art. Witty, glamorous, and atmospheric, this production features a sensational jazz score including “You Can Always Count on Me” and “I’m Nothing Without You.”

The Wizard of Oz - Youth Edition
2026-08-18 10:00 - 11:30 | Ogunquit Playhouse, 10 Main Street, Ogunquit, ME, 03909, United States
Join Dorothy and her loyal companion Toto as they “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” through the Land of Oz, determined to reach the Emerald City, where the great and powerful Wizard of Oz will help them get home. Of course, along the way, she encounters witches (both good and bad), Munchkins, talking trees, and winged monkeys. More importantly, she befriends a Scarecrow with no brain, a Tin Man with no heart, and a Lion with no “nerve.” Their journey to happiness – and self-awareness – is a glowing testament to friendship, understanding and hope in a world filled with both unpleasantness and beauty.
Based on MGM’s blockbuster 1939 film, this stage adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s classic tale, features the characters and celebrated songs from the film, and brings the wondrous Land of Oz to life in a jubilant theatrical experience.

The Mel Brooks Musical
Based on 1968 cult classic comedy, The Producers tells the story of theatrical producer Max Bialystock who realizes the road to his financial redemption lies in producing the worst musical ever written, raising 25,000% of the capital, and pocketing it all when the show is a one-night-only disaster. Aided and abetted by nebbish accountant named Leo Bloom, Bialystock options the rights to a “gay romp with Adolf and Eva.” Of course, if the show, by some insane stretch of credulity, were to become a hit, Bialystock and Bloom would be thrown in jail. And that’s exactly what happens.
