“Despite his success and sense of history, Mr. Paul remains an artist with his eye on the future and an interest in discovering the transformative potential in his music, says the New York Times. Some artists document their lives through their music. Others chronicle their times. It’s a rare artist who can do both, telling their own story through songs that also encapsulate the essence of people and places who have helped define their era overall.  The Opera House looks forward to welcoming back this former local resident and beloved musician this summer. Advance Box Office Tickets $20, Regular Tickets $25.

One day only! Mook Sea Farm will be hosting an Open House on Saturday, June 16 from 9am – 1 pm with hourly tours at 9, 10, 11, and 12. As a busy working oyster hatchery and farm, we are not usually able to offer tours for the public, so we are excited to welcome anyone and everyone this morning as part of the three-day Damariscotta Oyster Celebration  (https://www.damariscottaoyster.com/)!

Come sample our Moondancer oysters on the dock, chat with our crew about how we grow oyster seed and market oysters, and join one of the hourly tours. You will learn about the life cycle of oysters and how each life stage is managed and reared within a modern, state-of-the-art, commercial oyster hatchery. The tour will also include a walk-through of Mook’s brand new, one-of-a-kind, land-based facility for microalgae production, market oyster improvement, and packing and shipping.
