CORINNA – Ken Dow, theater organizer and performer, said this weekend the Levi Stewart Community Theater players are deep in rehearsal for the upcoming three-act production, “See How They Run,” which will be presented onstage at Corinna’s historic Levi Stewart Library building.

The performance features local talent and is under the direction of Kent Higgins.

“Kent has been working in educational and community theater for 30 years,” said Dow. “He directs plays at Nokomis Regional High, where he teaches English, and his work at Nokomis has twice taken students to the New England Drama Festival.”

This is the second production being staged by the recently revived theater group.

Dow said the Levi Stewart Community Theater began with a play in 1982, produced by the Corinna Literary Club.

“Shortly after, area residents formed the theater group,” Dow said. “Many people from Corinna and surrounding communities participated as the group produced 12 successful shows from 1983 to 1990.”

The group has reorganized, and its most recent presentation, “The Cat in The Hat,” was performed in July.

“We want to provide an opportunity for residents of all ages to participate in the tradition of local theater,” said Dow.

The second floor of the Stewart Library Building in Corinna contains a theater stage and auditorium used for more than 100 years to present local theatrical, cultural and sports events. To improve acoustics in the room, the community theater group recently purchased a sound system and added sound-absorbing panels to the walls of the auditorium. The cloth in the panels is part of a donation of material from Interface Fabrics of Guilford.

Dow said the “See How They Run” story unfolds as Penelope has given up her career as an American actress and comes to England to marry the Rev. Lionel Toop. Lionel is the vicar in the village of Merton-cum-Middlewick.

“A surprise visit from Penelope’s old friend, Clive, a former actor, touches off an evening of mistaken identity and frantic chases,” said Dow. “Add a maid who has seen too many American movies, a village busybody, an escaped foreign prisoner who is hoping for the communist revolution to begin, a police sergeant, and four men in clergymen’s suits for an evening of confusion and fun.”

Dow said performances of “See How They Run” will be held at 7 p.m. Nov. 7, 8, 14 and 15, at the Stewart Library Building. Admission will be $6.
