Darci Faye, arts manager for The Center for Advancement of Rural Living, said that dates have been established for two plays, “Bonnie and Clyde,” June 27-29, and “Matilda the Musical,” July 25-27.
“We are looking forward to a very exciting summer,” said Faye. “We are still looking for talent and we encourage people from throughout the region to contact my office at the Performing Arts Center. We have a unique opportunity to rebuild the arts here in Caribou and we have a wonderful facility.”
