For a show with an epic plot twist ending, head to Lewiston for “I and You.” The play centers around high school seniors Caroline (Emma Wisniewski) and Anthony (Londan Carlisle), who get paired up to do a report on Walt Whitman. “I and You” has been called both “life-affirming” and a “must-see” – twice, for some.

Maine Craft Distilling hosts the League of Women Voters of Maine, Banded Brewing and Yes Brewing to present a party 10 decades in the making.

To mark the occasion, Yes Brewing will release Empower Sour, and Banded Brewing will debut a new farmhouse ale, Nineteen. Maine Craft Distilling gets in on the fun with the Not So Old Fashioned Cocktail, and a portion of proceeds from all three of these beverages support the organization.

Louisa May Alcott’s 1868 novel continues to shine brightly, whether on the written page, on the silver screen or in musical form. Here’s a chance to see the latter in a production that features songs like “Our Finest Dreams,” “Five Forever,” “Off to Massachusetts” and “Sometimes When You Dream.” The lives of sisters Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March in Civil War America provide a rich, dramatic and emotional landscape that’s anything but timeworn.
