Its all about tradItIon T his season is Crystal Lisbons sec- ond at the directorial helm al- though she has worked on and off with the playhouse for around 15 years. With a background in acting dance and choreography Guptill describes the Lisbon as bringing a youthful energy to the the- ater and as the first director never to have worked alongside Guptill Senior her arrival marks a new era for the playhouse. The torch has really been passed to a new generation he says. For Guptill a deep understanding of the nature of the- ater was as important as professional cre- dentials in the search for the new direc- tor. Someone who understood the feel of Hackmatack and what its about. We are a traditional summer stock theatre. Its a re- ally homemade atmosphere. Lisbon herself is certainly familiar with the unique appeal of the playhouse.Words can never quite express the magic that is Hackmatack. Its the people the barn itself the atmosphere and the craziness of putting a major production up in two weeks. It ruins you for other theaters in a way KeepIng It real For Guptill who maintains a full-time year-round job selling produce in Boston the overall experience and sense of commu- nity is at the heart of the Hackmatack ethos. He concedes that the theater itself doesnt turn much profit and its been more chal- lenging in recent years by the acquisition of many local stores by chain corporations who typically dont support local theater in the same way. As a result little has changed at the Berwick playhouse over the years in- cluding few renovations to the original barn conversion parking areas and walkways. In 2011 a donation effort was even launched to raise funds to support the ongoing main- tenance work on the theater with patrons encouraged to give donations toward a checklist of improvement projects such as installing hot water in the bathrooms. Despite these limited resources a glance at ticket pricing reveals a reasonable 25 per adult for a weekday performance. Guptill ac- tively encourages families to bring their own refreshments to enjoy before the show.
