Season 2020
Dear Friends and Members of River Company,
We began 2020 very excited to bring you a season full of delightful, Maine-themed shows, but due to the spread of the Coronavirus, or COVID-19, we feel it is best to modify our season in order to protect our wonderful community.
It is with a heavy heart that we postpone our spring production of “Homer Bound” by Karmo Sanders. Rather than do another Summer Shakespeare, we will instead focus on producing “Homer Bound” for an early fall production.
Right now, everything is very fluid and we are doing our best to monitor the situation and follow CDC recommendations and will continue to do so into the future. We still plan to have a children’s workshop in the fall and possibly a holiday fundraiser in December.
River Company is so thankful for all our members, fans and supporters. Please stay tuned for more information going forward. We will try to keep everyone as up to date, via social media and email, as much as possible.
The Show Will Go On.
Mallory Adams - President of River Company

2020 marks River Company’s 23rd season and Maine’s 200th anniversary of its statehood. In honor of our state’s anniversary, River Company’s season will focus on plays by Maine authors and that take place in or are about Maine.
Homer Bound has been POSTPONED until 2021
Our first production of 2020 is "Homer Bound" by Karmo Sanders and directed by Eleanor Cade Busby. Sanders is well known to Mainers as Birdie Googins from the Marden's commercials, otherwise known as the "Marden's Lady." Not only is she a successful comedienne but also a playwright, as evidenced by this delightful two act comedy set on an island off the coast Maine. Previously performed at the Good Theater in Portland in 2018, River Company is so excited to share with midcoast audiences the delightful story of Homer, a Maine lobsterman and his friends and family as they try to pull off a shot-gun wedding.
River Company is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) corporation. Our Mission: River Company provides a local arena for artists to gain theatrical experience that fosters artistic growth. River Company’s work reflects and entertains its community through its creativity, flexibility, and versatility.
