About The Love Seat
The Love Seat is a laugh-out-loud comedy with plenty of physical action, excited characters, and four busy doors. Each time someone sits on a certain love seat, romance blooms. Alex and Ned see this as good news in their efforts to woo Emily and Junie. But then everything goes fruitcake when The Great Fredini shows up. A crazy comedy with romance, mixed up lovers, and mad magic. Does Junie truly see a Quadruped? Will scary Mrs. Castleberry show up? And what’s up with Freddie’s nutty lamp?
Sam Havens has completed 34 plays and one novel. His plays have been produced in the USA, Australia, and Canada. -

Sadly, the rest of the sisterhood died from botulism after eating vichyssoise prepared by Sister Julia Child of God. Thus, the remaining nuns – ballet-loving Sister Leo (the novice, who has entered the convent with the firm desire to become the first nun ballerina), street-wise Sister Robert Anne (tough character from Brooklyn, and a constant source of aggravation for the Mother Superior), befuddled Sister Mary Amnesia (the very sweet nun who lost her memory after a crucifix fell on her head), the Mother Superior, Sister Mary Regina (a feisty Sophie Tucker-type who can’t resist the spotlight), and mistress of the novices Sister Mary Hubert (the second in command who is always competing with the Mother Superior) – stage a talent show in order to raise the money to bury their dearly departed.
The action takes place in the auditorium on the second floor of Hallowell City Hall, 1 Winthrop St, Hallowell and the site is handicapped accessible. Performances are one week only Thursday and Friday evenings, June 6 and 7 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, June 8 and 9 matinees at 2:00 p.m. The ticket price is $20.
