Published on: June 27, 2024
The Gracie Theatre at Husson University has announced its 2024-25 season and it will feature a foot-stomping, laughter-filled season including Broadway music, a hit band, comedy and more.
“This season is a sure-fire hit because it truly has something for everyone," said Managing Artistic Director Jeri Misler. "The season is filled with more Broadway stars than we have ever had on our stage.”
The 13th season, sponsored in part by their current and founding sponsor Bangor Savings Bank, kicks off on Saturday, Oct. 19 with An Evening with Sydnee Winters: Beyond Broadway. Best known for her Broadway roles as Princess Nala in The Lion King and Angelica Skyler in Hamilton, Winters celebrates her musical journey from growing up in a Caribbean household to leading roles on Broadway. She will perform music from “Lessons from a Lady” about the life of Lena Horne, along with jazz, R&B and popular hits from Broadway shows.
The band American Authors, whose hit single “Best Day of My Life” has been featured in more than 600 movie trailers, TV shows, commercials and more, will take the Gracie stage on Friday, Nov. 15. Fans of John Denver will love Rocky Mountain Christmas, a tribute to John Denver, which will be held on Thursday, Dec 12. Also, the Banff Film Festival returns on Wednesday, Feb. 5 and Thursday, Feb. 6.
The season will close with the return of fan favorite actress Denise Fennell of Late Nite Catechism fame on Saturday, April 5, with her one-woman comedy, “The Bride, Or Does This Dress Make Me Look Married?”
Tickets go on sale on Aug. 9 for the Subscribe for 5 season ticket plan, which includes premium seats for at least four shows at a 20 percent discount. Single show tickets will be open to the public on Aug. 23.
The Gracie is a 490-seat performance venue that has a unique niche for the arts in Greater Bangor. An intimate space, it provides patrons and performers with a more personal, up-close experience than is available elsewhere in the region.
