Cash

Ring of F ire

A musical revue featuring the timeless music of Johnny Cash

On Thursday August 12th we make our long awaited return to live theater as Portland Stage Company and Maine State Music theater present “Cash: Ring of Fire” . From the songbook of Johnny Cash comes this unique musical about love and faith, struggle and success, rowdiness and redemption, and the healing power of home and family. More than two dozen classic hits — including “I Walk The Line,” “A Boy Named Sue,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” and the title tune — performed by a multi-talented cast, paint a musical portrait of The Man

in Black that promises to be a foot-stompin’, crowd-pleasin’ salute to a unique musical legend! Though he is never impersonated, Johnny Cash’s remarkable life story is told through his music, climaxing in a concert that will both move and exhilarate! Limited tickets are available for this sold out show. Tickets are $45.00/person and must be paid in advance at the office of State Manufactured Homes. The bus will begin picking you up at your home at 12:45pm, show starts at 2:00pm.

Portland Museum of Art Wednesday August 4th 1:00 pm Hop aboard the bus as we visit the Portland Museum of Art. With its extensive collection and nationally renowned exhibitions, the PMA is considered the cultural heart of Portland. The PMA boasts significant holdings of American, European and contemporary art, as well as iconic works from Maine. Along with its permanent collection the PMA also has a special exhibit: “David Driskell: Icons of Nature and History” History reveals the artist’s aesthetic inheritances from home, family, the South, and his formative education—at Howard University, Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture, and the Catholic University of America—as well as the influence of his sojourns to Europe, Africa, and South America. His artistic evolution is marked by distinctive eras, experiences, and experiments with media. What remains steadfast in his paintings and collages is a commitment to a symbolic form that elevates the mind and the spirit above that which exists in the physical world. Admission to the museum is just $15.00 (to be paid at the museum). The bus will begin picking you up at your home at 1:00pm.

Freeport Shopping Thursday August 5th 10:00 am Join us as we venture to Freeport for an afternoon of shopping. Enjoy shopping at L.L. Bean’s flagship campus, the outlet shops of Freeport Village, or along Main Street with a variety of boutiques. We will leave Freeport by 2:30 pm.
