HALLOWELL — The Gaslight Theater, Maine’s oldest continuously operating community theater, will hold auditions for its first production of Maine’s bicentennial year, “Last Gas,” by John Cariani.
The show, directed by Lucille Rioux, will be performed in March. Auditions are 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 26, and Monday, Jan. 27, at Hallowell City Hall Auditorium, 1 Winthrop St.
Nat Paradis is a Red Sox loving part-time dad who manages Paradis’ Last Convenient Store, the last convenient place to get gas –or anything — before the Canadian border to the north and the Northern Maine Woods to the west. When an old flame returns to town, Nat gets a chance to rekindle a romance he gave up on years ago. But sparks fly as he’s forced to choose between new love and old. LAST GAS takes a hilarious and heart-breakingly hard look at love lost and found, and at what it means to “get back to happy.”
