Review for Acorn Productions, Westbrook, ME, USA
Acorn Productions is the only theater group in southern Maine that supports the theater community in an inclusive and productive fashion. I have taken acting, auditioning and playwriting classes at Acorn and they have experienced and fabulous instructors. The Maine Playwrights Festival is one of a kind here in Maine and the only place I have found truly thought provoking theater since my return. Naked Shakespeare brings 'high art' to the pubic like no other group in the area. Acorn's regular staged readings of local playwright's work, their audition newsletter, their kid's programs and phyzigig and hosting an annual auditioning event are just some of the ways they nurture theater artists of all ages and levels of experience. I would be bereft living here in southern Maine without this organization.

they were a bit more pro-actively open to non-core participants becoming involved in their stagings and productions.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Recognition and funding because they are not an equity company (with those artistic limitations).
One thing I'd also say is that...
I hope to be able to work with Mike Levine on my own production in the future.
