Murder by the Book

Murder by the Book - A Vassalboro Library fundraiser & theatrical play.

The Vassalboro Public Library will sponsor a theatrical play to take place at the Vassalboro Grange - 353 Main Street - for two exclusive shows.

Saturday, October 19 at 7pm

Sunday, October 20 at 2pm

The play is a fundraiser for the library. Cost of tickets are 10$ for adults and 2$ for children. You can buy tickets at the door or purchase from the library beforehand. In addition to entertainment, we will have refreshments and baked goods available for our fundraiser, and a brief intermission.

The theatrical play will showcase Vassalboro actors as well as starring roles from members of the Waterville Creates community. The play is entitled “Murder by the Book,” written by Canadian playwright, Laura Teasdale and is inspired by the books of Louise Penny which feature the investigator Armand Gamache. Louise Penny has provided sponsorship and collaboration with Ms Teasdale in the play’s development and availability.

Murder by the Book is a comedy. Unlike the Penny series, it doesn’t take place in “Three Pines.” If you want to know whether it takes place in “six spruces” or “nine firs” or “eight hemlocks” you’ll need to mark your calendar for the Vassalboro production in October. The play is set in a small town much like Vassalboro. The murder (sort of) takes place in the local library, much like the Vassalboro Library.

We are looking forward to these evenings of fun, fellowship and library fundraising. This event is open to interested people from all over Maine. Vassalboro is a community with a big heart and plenty of activities for such a small town. Come visit us! We appreciate your support of our library. Vassalboro Library est. 1911. A proud community resource.
