SUMMARY:Stage Frenzy: A 24-Hour Theater Marathon!
DESCRIPTION:Stage Frenzy is a 24 Hour Theatre Marathon where\, over the course of 24 hours\, theater artists of various backgrounds\, skill-sets\, and artistic processes will convene to write\, direct\, act\, design\, and perform a freshly written crop of original short plays. Stage Frenzy is an opportunity for theater makers to create theater in its purest form\, with little opportunity to over-think or second guess artistic decisions. It is also an opportunity to take risks. \nThis is the time and place for participating artists to try something new\, just for fun. To write that fantasy/scifi/horror play they’ve always wanted to write or that play that is half dance or includes puppets if that’s what they’ve wanted to explore. To direct in the round or immersively or with movement or puppetry or with bare minimum set. To act a role that’s completely off type in just 12 hours. To design on a shoestring budget with a small set and thrift stores at your convenience. To stage manage in 12 hours with other stage managers\, doing a whole month’s worth of rehearsal process in a split second. To do something different: they’ve got 364 other days of the year to do what they know. \n***Both Performances are in Congress Square Park***\nWorld Premiere Performance: Saturday\, July 7 @ 7:00pm\nEncore Performance: Sunday\, July 8 @ 2:00pm\nPresented by Chimera Theatre Collective. \nForged in Portland\, Maine\, in 2015\, Chimera Theatre Collective is focused on melding together our collective life experiences and artistic tendencies to bring new and overlooked works\, ideas\, artists\, and methods into the mainstream where they belong\, while also finding ways to shift the perception of what makes conventional theater.

SUMMARY:Portland Outright
DESCRIPTION:Portland Outright is a queer & trans youth movement fighting oppression with tenderness. Join them for an evening of interactive community art. \nOutright supports underserved members of the LGBTQ+ youth community through weekly member meetings\, ongoing mentorship\, social events\, and trainings\, as well as intentional support to youth navigating systems — such as the juvenile justice system\, foster care\, homelessness and mental health services. They are a community of people invested in each other\, building deep connections\, sharing both struggle and joy\, while fighting for each other’s dignity and survival. \nThey are committed to moving beyond the traditional LGBTQ+ youth “support group” model by carving out space for young people in leadership\, lifting up the experiences of those most deeply experiencing the effects of marginalization\, helping members harness and reclaim their inherent power\, and becoming active participants in not only their own liberation\, but the collective liberation of everyone.

SUMMARY:Kafari & Jake Hoffman
DESCRIPTION:In this family-friendly event\, Kafari (rhythm bones) and Jake Hoffman (banjo\, guitar\, voice) will lead an experience that is part concert and part history lesson\, sing-along\, square dance\, and music class. After a short performance\, audience members will have the opportunity to engage directly with the artists\, learning to play the bones\, lifting their voices in song\, dancing in partners and groups\, and engaging in a communal play-along. Kafari and Jake will finish the experience with another performance incorporating audience members’ newly learned skills. Singing\, moving\, clapping\, and clicking along will be greatly encouraged throughout the event. Jake Hoffman and Kafari are two musicians with a love of old-time music\, teaching\, storytelling\, and improvised art. \nMulti-instrumentalist and singer\, Jake Hoffman was raised on jazz and rock ‘n’ roll and spent his adulthood studying American folk musics. He has toured in 20 states and 11 countries — performing and teaching ballads\, gospel and dance music from Appalachia and the American South. A community arts and cultural exchange advocate\, Jake has lived in the Portland area since 2009 and is a teaching artist and program manager with 317 Main Community Music Center. \nKafari is a pianist\, beatmaker\, and bluegrass percussionist\, specializing in the rhythm bones – an ancient instrument played by holding two in one hand\, flicking the wrist forward and backward to create sound. He first became inspired to play the bones after seeing a concert that debunked his assumptions about bluegrass and exposed him to the African-American roots of traditional bluegrass and old-time music. A resident of Portland since 2011\, Kafari enjoys teaching bones to passersby on the city streets and in classrooms across the state.

SUMMARY:Make Music Portland featuring The Casco Bay Tummlers
DESCRIPTION:Make Music Portland\, part of the international Fête de la Musique\, is the official organizer of Make Music Day Portland\, a festival of sound. Occurring annually on June 21\, Make Music Day is a free event to attend and participate in and is open to all ages\, genres\, styles\, and abilities. During this daylong celebration\, the city comes alive with music. Performances take place on city sidewalks\, in parks\, patios\, and even on back porches. \nMake Music Day Portland is a community event that aims to strengthen social and cultural ties\, elevate the profile of our city internationally\, and support amateur and professional musicians. Our music festival falls annually on the summer solstice and is organized by the Make Music Portland board. Together with cities around the world\, Portland rings in the first day of summer and the longest day of the year by celebrating the transformational power of sound. \nThis year’s performance in Congress Square Park on Make Music Day featured The Casco Bay Tummlers! \nBased in Portland\, Maine\, The Casco Bay Tummlers have been performing klezmer music since 1988. The band’s repertoire is versatile\, ranging from original music to traditional dances and songs of the Yiddish theater and Jewish ghetto – all with original arrangements. \nThe Tummlers have a unique sound and a stage performance that features all members of the band. Steve Gruverman brings an extensive background in ethnic dance music to his soulful clarinet playing. Carl Dimow has developed a unique klezmer flute style\, making the instrument an equal solo voice in the music. John Clark is an incredibly versatile bass player–everything from symphony to surf–perfect for the Tummlers eclectic approach to klezmer. Nancy 3. Hoffman brings a playfulness which audiences love to both her accordion playing and her singing. Peter McLaughlin keeps the traditional role as drummer happening with elements of jazz and improvisation. \nThe Tummlers have toured in Germany where they performed to sold-out houses at the Hackesches Hof Theater in Berlin and at the ninth annual Festival of Jewish Culture in Chemnitz. They have also traveled to Lithuania and performed in Pakroijis\, Linkuva\, Kaunas and Druskininkai and were the first klezmer band to perform at the Skamba\, Skamba Kankliai folk festival in Vilnius. They have released three recordings and were featured performers on the LL Bean Holiday CD.

SUMMARY:Fishin' Ships Food Truck
DESCRIPTION:Fishin’ Ships Food Truck starts with a classic street food that pays tribute to Portland’s historic fishing industry – fish and chips! Then\, they break the mold of what is traditionally considered fish and chips by offering craft beer batters made with gourmet ingredients. Look forward to a perfected classic\, and twists like a basil and thai chili battered fish\, prepared in Bissell Brothers Substance beer batter or a curry and onion battered fish\, fried in Allagash White beer batter. A rotating menu of lighter fare options include fish tacos\, fish sliders\, and ceviche. All fish comes from local waters and all beer batters are made with Maine made beer! \n
