BDN Advances Orono Community Theatre Play in Cyrus Pavilion
The Bangor Daily News reported Ten Bucks Theatre Company and Orono Community Theatre are coming together for the first time to offer Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman” at the Cyrus Pavilion Theater on the UMaine campus. The Cyrus Pavilion Theater was named after Orono Community Theatre director Sandy Cyrus’ late husband and former UMaine theatre professor Edgar Allan “Al” Cyrus. Bringing both acting groups to the theater means a lot to the directors — Sandy Cyrus and UMaine theatre instructor Julie Lisnet, who was a student of Al Cyrus, according to the article. “We all feel so much affection for this building. Al had his eye on the building for so long. It was a sheep barn when I was a student at UMaine,” Lisnet said. “There’s a lot of memories here. It means a lot to all of us.” The play is slated for 7 p.m. Jan. 16–17 and Jan. 23–24; and 2 p.m. Jan. 18 and 25. The Maine Edge also published an article on the play.
