L/A Community Little Theatre Presents the Musical 'A New Home'

"A New Home" is a musical production that tells the rich and complex history of Lewiston. Adapted from "Lewiston: A New Home," which was first performed in September 1995 for the Lewiston Bicentennial, this production brings to life the stories of Lewiston's Indigenous, Irish, Franco-American, and African immigrant communities, whose contributions have shaped the city's identity and culture. The sold-out performances of "Lewiston: A New Home" received wide acclaim for the show's musical score and the heartwarming authenticity of its stories. An original cast album was released in December 1995, and the show was performed again to sold-out audiences in 1996. In the thirty years since the original production, major events - both good and tragic - have occurred in Lewiston and are now represented in the musical's revival, includes a heartfelt tribute to the 18 lives that were lost in the tragic events of October 25, 2023.

The show includes new music and lyrics written by the director Dr. Paul G. Caron, who was the composer, lyricist, and musical director for the "Lewiston: A New Home" production in 1995, which was written by Michael Rosenthal, Richard Martin, and Lynne Geiger. Most of the songs from that original show are also included in the current production, which will be supported by a 26-piece orchestra.

The seven performances of "A New Home" will be held on October 30 - November 9 (no performance October 31) at the Lewiston Middle School Auditorium, 75 Central Avenue in Lewiston. For more information or to purchase tickets online, visit LACLT.com.

A New Home is being presented by the Isabella J. Gendron Foundation. Thanks to a grant from the Maine Arts Commission, the November 2 and 8 performances will feature ASL interpretation to ensure accessibility for all audience members.
