Juneteenth Performance of “Broken Clock” in Lewiston on June 17

This year, MIO’s Creative Ensemble has been touring the original play, Broken Clock, and we will hold a special Juneteenth performance in Lewiston on June 17th at The Public Theatre

We know that in this current wave of attempts to erase history it is ever important to honor, highlight and celebrate this year’s Juneteenth holiday. Here at MIO we believe in the power of theater to spark necessary dialogue around issues that are affecting our communities. We hope you will join us on 6/17 here in Lewiston, to engage in the dialogue, share your voice and represent this beautiful community. We would love your help to fill the seats with an intergenerational audience that represents the community of Lewiston by inviting those you know. Different from years past and in lieu of a larger Kennedy Park block party style event, we hope this more intimate setting will engage us all in deep and meaningful ways as we continue to move together with our shared work in this pivotal time.

6pm Doors Open. Join us in the lobby for food and activities prior to the performance! Little Chair Printing will be printing free t-shirts for youth and adults with Juneteenth and Broken Clock logos. A community meal will feature delicious food from The Heritage Restaurant and Buffalo Wild Wings. 

7pm Original film, performance of “Broken Clock,” and community dialogue.

8:30pm Reception in the lobby featuring cookies and pastries from The Italian Bakery.

The Public Theatre is an ADA accessible venue. Please reach out to admin@maineinsideout.org to request specific accommodations. 


Thank you for your partnership and support and we’d love to see you on June 17. Reserve your free or donation-based ticket here!
