This was always so much fun! The best part, aside from participating in the productions, was how you always saw EVERYONE you knew after the shows... And they always had a varied program, with something for everyone. Good times! read more

summer 1985. I was 21. Castine Maine for the summer doing Cold Comfort Theater ... hmmm.... did I even get paid? I can't recall much cash, but I was rich in friendship, love, food, and laughs. there was a group of about 20 putting on 3 or 4 shows. it was very social and oft times quite hectic. fond memories. read more

My older sister and i spent many summers here at the theatre camp. We were in Ann of Green Gables (we can still sing "Avonlea We Love Thee", but not well), The Wizard of Oz (she and i were Bok and Zok, "we thank you muchly for doing thusly", two of the munchkins) , and Annie (i was an orphan and a cop... she was just an orphan i think). There are so many stories from these summers. Like when my older friend Sarah told me that to be a good actor we needed to go off to the basement to practice our stage kissing (apparently it is a lot like real kissing...), or how i was in love with the lovely Rebecca, on of our counselors, only to be thwarted when she started dating another counselor (who i later had a bigger crush on), or how the football camp that was also at the Maine Maritime Academy used to call us "Theater Bags" and we would in response call them "Pinheads" (it turned out later that they were not calling us theatre "bags"...) The productions were great, and always got the best reviews in the Castine Patriot. Summer on the green were some of the best so far in my life. From one theater-bag to another, i highly recommend and Cold Comfort production. If you are an open-minded pinhead you just might enjoy yourself as well. read more
