Summer 2010 at Hackmatack Playhouse
We are proud to present the 2010 Hackmatack season - a season full of our summer traditions:
humor, warmth, music, strawberry shortcake, and blueberry pie! What can be wrong with that!?
Our season will also include pre-season specials, children's theater and a comic opera over Labor
Day weekend. Please plan to join us during the summer of 2010!
"Cox and Box" and "Bon Apetite" - Labor Day Weekend
"Cox and Box" and "Bon Apetite": Our annual Labor day weekend light opera. Arthur Sullivan's first comic success was "Cox and Box", the story of a Landlord who lets his room to two lodgers - one by day, and one by night. To be performed by Richard Conrad and the Bostonians along with "Bon Apetite", a loving (but comic) tribute to Julia Childs - cake and all!

England writes in the song-first tradition forged by the likes of Gram Parsons, Steve Earle and Johnny Cash. His songs are emotionally-charged, fueled by rich personal anecdotes, and his lyrics swarm the senses and rouse the imagination with their lucid imagery. In spring 2009, England signed on with Lost Sailor Records to begin work on his solo debut, Razed and Reconstructed, to be released in October 2010. Razed features some of the finest regional and national talent, including the 2009 International Bluegrass Association Mandolin Player of the Year Jesse Brock, Adam Terrell on guitar (Assembly of Dust), keyboardist Jason Cohen (Ryan Montbleau Band), and a rhythm section comprised of Mark Hickok (bass) and Steve Scully (drums) from The Singhs. Razed is England's finest work to date, intimately exploring the fires of love, life and loss. England fronted New England's Pondering Judd for 16 years, writing all of the band's songs, while capturing both regional and worldwide acclaim with their unique blend of rock, folks, and Americana music. His prolific songwriting led to the band recording six records in seven years, and also earned Pondering Judd a place in the Spotlight Hall of Fame after collecting 13 Spotlight Awards since their formation.
