SOUTH PARIS — On Saturday, June 2, at 7:30 p.m., Celebration Barn Theater opens its 47th season, presenting Mike Miclon’s “The Early Evening Show,” featuring special guests Samuel James and Tom Murphy along with Early Evening Show regulars Fritz Grobe and the Early Evening Show Orchestra.
“The Early Evening Show,” a spoof of late-night talk shows, has been performed from Maine to Switzerland and built its reputation with a 14-year run at the Oddfellow Theater in Buckfield.
With a voice of grit and gravel, roots musician Samuel James sings with an authenticity lost in time. A modern guitar master, James’ skill has a depth and range that seems impossible for a man with only two hands.
Accident-prone and dangerously funny, Tom Murphy kicks the art of solo-performance into overdrive. With a sold-out run on Broadway and international appearances in over 30 countries, his relentless brand of soul-searching repartee and sublime slapstick captivates audiences and leaves them crying “uncle.”
“The Early Evening Show’s” wild improvisations, surprise guests and audience interactions have made it the longest-running live variety show in Maine. The Bangor Daily News called it, “a seamless, hilarious production,” and CBS Sunday Morning called it, “must-see reality.”
Tickets to Mike Miclon’s “The Early Evening Show” are $16 for adults, $14 for seniors (60+), and $10 for kids (17 and under). All tickets are general admission; members receive priority seating. Lobby and concessions open at 6:30 p.m. Purchasing tickets in advance is strongly recommended.
