LEWISTON — The Public Theatre will present “Makin’ Whoopie! — Ida LeClair’s Guide to Love & Marriage,” starring Susan Poulin Nov. 9, 10 and 11.
“The funniest woman in Maine returns with a show plumb-chucka-full of hilarious stories and down home advice on how to keep your marriage sweet, simple and easy,” said a news release from the theater.
“Well, she is a Certified Maine Life Guide, after all.” In :Makin’ Whoopie!,” Ida tackles big questions like, “What does a whoopie pie and marriage have in common?” “How do I get my sexy back?” and “You want me to do what with your ashes?” Get the inside scoop on senior tattoos, staycation do’s and don’t, and the latest adventures of the Woman Who Run with the Moose.
As Ida says, “Charlie and me have been married for over forty years. That don’t make me an expert. But it certainly gives me a lot to talk about!”
Selected by Portland Magazine as one of the “Ten Most Intriguing People in Maine,” award-winning writer and performer Susan Poulin is the author of 11 plays, six of which star her alter-ego, Ida LeClair.
A regular collaborator with her husband Gordon Carlisle, their critically acclaimed plays have been performed throughout the Northeast.
