SUMMARY:Pontine Theater's production of "The Flat Iron Lot" by Alice Brown
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 7\, 2026\, 6:30 pm\, with doors opening at 6:00 pm \n“The Flat Iron Lot” \nPontine Theatre’s spring 2026 production of Alice Brown’s short story \nThe Friends of Norway Memorial Library will host the Pontine Theatre for their spring 2026 production of Alice Brown’s short story “The Flat Iron Lot” at Norway Memorial Library on Thursday\, May 7\, 2026\, at 6:30 pm\, with doors opening at 6:00 pm.  The library is located at 258 Main St.\, in Norway\, ME. This event is free to attend\, though donations to the Friends of the library are welcome. \nPontine Theatre is located in Portsmouth\, New Hampshire. Co-Artistic Directors and performers Marguerite Mathews and Greg Gathers\, search out rich\, historical literary gems and bring them to life for audiences throughout the region. Their shows often feature antique stage techniques\, including rolling panoramas\, puppetry\, and toy theatre figures. Mr. Gathers creates all the props and sets used in the theatre’s productions. \n“The Flat Iron Lot” was written by Alice Brown in 1899. Set in the fictional town of Tiverton\, NH\, it chronicles a rural New England community’s celebration of its 250th birthday. With fits and starts\, contention and compromise\, the residents organize historical reenactments\, a grand parade\, and speeches from civic leaders and the town’s beloved\, unofficial historian. In the end\, the townspeople enjoy a reinvigorated sense of civic pride and appreciation for their shared heritage. The story is an apt microcosm of the ambitions\, struggles\, and ideals of our national observance of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. \nThe Friends of Norway Memorial Library is a membership organization with a volunteer board of directors raising funds through membership fees\, used book sales\, and other efforts to enhance library programs and services. To join the Friends of Norway Memorial Library\, complete a membership form at the library. To learn more about serving on the Friends of NML board of directors\, speak with Beth Kane\, Norway Memorial Library director. \nFor more information\, call 207-743-5309 or visit www.norwaymemoriallibrary.org. \n
