AUDITIONS!  Lincoln County Community Theater (LCCT) is excited to be holding open auditions for the world premiere of our new holiday comedy, “The Inn at Little Bethlehem.”  Auditions will take place in Porter Hall at Skidompha Library in Damariscotta Sunday, Sept. 13 from 2 to 4 p.m. and Monday, Sept. 14 from 6 to 8 p.m. 

Set in a small inn in Maine on Christmas Eve as a nor'easter for the ages is blowing. The staff hunker down for a quiet night. But when the roads close, stranded travelers begin arriving: first, a very pregnant Mary and her husband Joseph; then, three wanderers who have traversed afar; finally, a beautiful stranger with a broken heart, a lot of luggage - and some baggage. "The Inn at Little Bethlehem" is a funny, irreverent Christmas comedy about love, home, second chances, and the alarming possibility that some Christmas clichés might actually be true. The play, written by Damariscotta resident and playwright Ron Capps, is being directed at Lincoln Theatre by Boothbay’s Soren Barker, with Waldoboro’s George Bates producing.
