Maine Public is proud to be a media sponsor of Prescott Park Arts Festival. This year's big show is Cinderella!

The show runs most Thursdays through Sundays at 7:00 p.m. from June 19 to August 9. Matinees will be on July 5 and July 25 at 1:00 p.m.

This contemporary take on the classic tale features Rodgers & Hammerstein’s most beloved songs, including In My Own Little Corner, Impossible/It’s Possible, and Ten Minutes Ago, alongside an up-to-date, hilarious, and romantic libretto by Tony Award nominee Douglas Carter Beane.

U.S. Senate hopeful Graham Platner today denied some of the allegations made by former girlfriends in a New York Times story this week, including one charge that he engaged in physically threatening behavior.

“No, that’s just not true,” Platner said, speaking with Maine Public’s Steve Mistler in Hancock this morning about the allegations and whether he fears they may impede the momentum of his campaign.

The latest allegations come from Lindsay Fifield, a Virginia conservative who has worked for right-leaning groups in Republican campaigns. Fifield also asserted that Platner knew long ago that his controversial tattoo was associated with N**i iconography, a claim that first surfaced in the publication Jewish Insider last fall. Platner says that’s not true.
