My thanks to the Bangor residents who attended the recent Penobscot Theatre production of “State of the Union” at the Bangor Opera House. I had never been to Bangor before performing in this show, but I hope to return to your community in the future.

Everywhere I went, I encountered friendly residents eager to make a visitor feel welcome. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring your city during my off-time, and I found your reaction to our performance enormously gratifying.

I want to publicly express my gratitude to Penobscot Theatre artistic director Scott R.C. Levy for hiring me, and my compliments to the entire PTC staff for their commitment to creating high-quality theater for the benefit of Bangor.
