October 7th-October 31st

We were just a few weeks away from opening You Got Older in spring 2020 when, well, you know. The show feels more relevant than ever and we're thrilled to include it in our 36th season.

Dumped and fired by her boyfriend/boss, Mae assumes her life can’t get worse—until her Dad acquires a rare, aggressive form of cancer. You Got Older is a dark comedy about coming of age and leaving youth behind. Sexual desire, cowboys, high school boyfriends and family are all part of Mae’s hilarious and emotional journey. Playwright Barron is not afraid to tackle the grittiest details of sex and death and explore the delicate moments that occur in times of passage from one time of life to the next.

February 3rd-February 27th

Written by Mad Horse Company Member Allison McCall, Waiting for Alice was produced last season as part of our virtual By Local series. We can't wait to give it a full production on our stage!

The play explores the question: what happens at the Mad Tea Party before Alice arrives...or does she ever? The Mad Hatter, March Hare, and Dormouse are occasionally joined by the Cheshire Cat while they entertain themselves around their tea table, forever stuck at 6 o'clock.

Originally written for PortFringe 2015, the initial idea was inspired by conversations with young actors during rehearsals for Alice in Wonderland at the Children's Museum and Theatre of Maine. Waiting for Alice delves into the urgency behind rituals and investigates Carroll's Wonderland through an absurdist lens inspired by Beckett and Ionesco.

Originally planned for our 35th season, Collective Rage is a show we just can't get out of our heads. We're pretty sure you'll feel the same.

Betty is rich; Betty is lonely; Betty’s busy working on her truck; Betty wants to talk about love, but Betty needs to hit something. And Betty keeps using a small hand mirror to stare into parts of herself she’s never examined. Five different women named Betty collide at the intersection of anger, sex, and the “Thea-Tah.”

Each of the five Betties is trying to figure out who they are in relation to their significant others and to themselves. Each is going through a personal journey and transformation. What do they want from life? The 5 Betties are ostensibly putting on a full-tilt lesbian/bicurious/genderqueer/Shakespearean comedy for everyone, but in the end are dealing with the anger, love, and loneliness of modern living.

Inspired by the characters and worlds of Homer's The Odyssey, Homecoming combines dramatic performance and visual art to explore the people, places, and events that define what home means to each of us. 

This designer-led, installation production - a first for Mad Horse - was created over nine months by a team of eight creative collaborators, representing a wide range of artistic and design disciplines including puppetry, music, illustration, paper crafts, sound design, weaving, and found object sculpture.

The Homecoming creative collective includes Reba Askari*, Brooke Bolduc, Jennifer Halm-Perazone*, Josh Hsu, Stacey Koloski*, Ian-Mer Lindsey, Mark Rubin*, and Shannon Wade. Keegan Perry is the Stage Manager. (*Mad Horse Company Member).
