Bawdy Humor & Strong language

A cocktail dedicated to PTC's most ardent supporter – Hope Hutchins Benton. Citron Vodka, Pink Bubbly, Aperol, and lemon juice.

In fashion: Citron Vodka, Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur, Natalie's lemon juice and shake. This martini is runway ready, the perfect delicious & tart naughty lemon drop.

The show wouldn't go on without our incredible Production Team and Stagehands. Raise a glass with this play on an old fashioned, with Jameson and a hint of Maple Syrup.

PTC Founder George Vafiadis loved the stage. In honor of him, we offer up this take on a classic Manhattan made with a special sweet red vermouth.

A Mock-tail to delight. Non-Alcoholic botanical spirit with citrus, herbal and floral notes. Several options available. Inquire at the bar.

Jessica's signature flavor was tangerine, so try our take on a tangerine bourbon whiskey sour with Jack Daniels.

Based on Dr. Seth Hazlitt's beloved character, we have a mocktail for those bittersweet lovers- a mock aperol spritz featuring Wilderton bittersweet & club soda.

Named for Jessica Fletcher's nephew, this is Stage Door's take on an Aperol Spritz featuring Birichino wine.

A younger generation of Maine lovers and dreamers wrestle with their relationships, their identities, and the day to day challenges of living. On a warm summer night where the Perseid meteor shower fills the dark sky with shooting stars and possibility, these young people connect and collide, asking big questions and seeking out answers in a quest to be seen for who they are. Playwright John Cariani (_Almost, Maine_) gives a heartfelt, honest voice to this next generation of Northern Mainers.

Stage Door's charcuterie cup/plate. This is the perfect snack if coming straight from work or running late. Enjoy this snack before the show or take in the theatre with you. Selected meats and cheeses placed with crackers and fruit.

Stage Door's delicious Feta & Pesto dip, made with greek yogurt. Served with assorted veggies and rosemary seasoned crackers or gluten free crackers (upon request).

A popular classic, roasted red pepper hummus, topped with sauteed peppers. Served with assorted veggies and rosemary seasoned crackers or gluten free crackers (upon request).

Spicy buffalo chicken dip, made with assorted cheeses, Franks Hot Sauce and ranch dressing. Served with assorted veggies and rosemary seasoned crackers or gluten free crackers (upon request).

A classic of gothic horror. In the late 1800’s a young woman arrives at a remote English manor house to serve as governess to two orphaned children. Perplexed by the behavior of the children, the governess begins to unravel the unseemly mystery of the previous governess, a former valet, and the possibility that the children are haunted by their ghosts. A spine tingling thriller that will leave you grasping for answers and questioning what you know to be real in an adaptation that is an imaginative tour de force for the two actors.
