The energy was running high at the May 2 dress rehearsal for Hearts Ever Young’s upcoming annual show – this year titled “Love That Song” – at Lincoln Theater in Damariscotta.

Owing to the success of their harmony-rich 2015 debut album, “A Wolf in the Doorway,” guitarist Martin Earley, cellist Calin Peters, and drummer Devin Mauch – collectively known as The Ballroom Thieves — have spent the last two years in a sustained state of touring that took them all across the U.S. and to venerable stages like the Newport Folk Festival.

Damariscotta River Grill, located at 155 Main St. in downtown Damariscotta, is now hosting artists Valerie Jeanne Borgal, Marc Poirier, and Sarah Lynn Richards, through Monday, June ­­­­­­­­­­­­12.

The 2003 play “Eurydice,” written by prominent New York City playwright Sarah Ruhl, is – as New York Times reviewer Charles Isherwood put it – a “devastatingly lovely” modern take on the myth of Orpheus, only from the point of view of his wife, Eurydice. Heartwood Regional Theater Company’s upcoming production of “Eurydice,” opening Thursday, April 27 at Lincoln Academy’s Parker B. Poe Theater, does great justice to Ruhl’s lovely, moving work about love, death, memory, and the power of language.
