BANGOR, Maine — The public is invited to a live streaming of presidential election results in the Bangor Opera House.
Penobscot Theatre Company says it will open the opera house on Tuesday from 5 p.m. to midnight.
The company will project the live stream on its movie screen and invites community members to stop in and watch the results as they unfold.
Artistic Director Bari Newport says a lot of people don’t want to be alone on election night, so he thought it would be a good idea to open the opera house for the election.
There’s no charge to attend the election coverage, but a $5 donation to the theatre is requested to cover overhead. Those attending are welcome to bring pot-luck dishes, but the theatre will provide plates, utensils and cups.
Bari is a “she,” not a “he.”
Bari, with an “i”, is a woman.
Bari Newport is a fantastic artistic director of the PTC, however I would not go to this particular event. I can tell you now it will be the Yes on 1, and Dem crowd. For some reason they THINK they own the arts and only they support PTC. I and many social conservatives support the arts and enjoy the shows at PTC. I can tell you from personal experience if I cheered because No on 1 won and Mitt Romney is elected president I would be ostracized by the crowd there. They are not a tolerant bunch.
Bari, stick to doing what you do well and don’t bring politics into the theater.
Here is a video of the “tolerance” from the Yes on One supporters.
