Come and enjoy “An Evening with Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas” on Saturday, October 12th at 7:30pm. Cutting-edge fiddle and cello explorations of Scottish and global music! Here playing Neil Gow’s “Neil Gow’s Wife” and “The Old Reel”. The musical partnership between consummate performer Alasdair Fraser, “the Michael Jordan of Scottish fiddling”, and brilliant Californian cellist Natalie Haas spans the full spectrum between intimate chamber music and ecstatic dance energy. Over the last 20 years of creating a buzz at festivals and concert halls across the world, they have truly set the standard for fiddle and cello in traditional music. They continue to thrill audiences internationally with their virtuosic playing, their near-telepathic understanding and the joyful spontaneity and sheer physical presence of their music.This seemingly unlikely pairing of fiddle and cello is the fulfillment of a long-standing musical dream for Fraser. His search eventually led him to find a cellist who could help return the cello to its historical role at the rhythmic heart of Scottish dance music, where it stood for hundreds of years before being relegated to the orchestra. The duo’s debut recording, Fire & Grace, won the coveted the Scots Trad Music “Album of the Year” award, the Scottish equivalent of a Grammy. Since its release, the two have gone on to record five more critically acclaimed albums that blend a profound understanding of the Scottish tradition with cutting-edge string explorations. In additional to performing, they both have motivated generations of string players through their teaching at fiddle camps across the globe.A limited number of Front Row seats are available for $45, General admission tickets are available for $30 in advance, $35 the day of the event. If this show has not sold out, a limited number of tickets may be available at the box office for starting at 6:30pm. *Get $10 off if you purchase a ticket to this performance AND

2024 Maine Artist Film Series at The Waldo Theatre
Join us for a night of beauty, introspection and inspiration at the final showing of our 2024 Maine Artist Film Series this Thursday, August 8th at 6pm. We will be showing two beautifully crafted films from local Maine artists... EAT FLOWERS and THE ARC OF OBLIVION.
THE ARC OF OBLIVION is an unexpectedly playful search for an answer to a deeply existential question. Set against the backdrop of Filmmaker Ian Cheney’s quixotic quest to build an ark in a field in Maine, the film heads far afield — to salt mines in the Alps, fjords in the Arctic, and ancient libraries in the Sahara — to illuminate the strange world of archives, record-keeping, and memory. Haunted by ghosts of lost digital footage, a filmmaker begins building a secure, ark-like structure in Maine to house his movies and many collections, which leads to this film’s main question: Why are humans the only animals to archive? To send their art, stories and data to future versions of themselves? The director weaves great cinematography and fascinating interviews from science and art experts – including filmmaker (and Executive Producer of the film) Werner Herzog – into a quirky, masterful film.
Runtime: 1 hour, 38 minutes
Filmmakers River Finlay (EAT FLOWERS) and Ian Cheney (THE ARC OF OBLIVION) will be with us for a post-screening Q&A. Doors open at 5:30pm. Films start at 6pm. Adult tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door. Concessions will be available.

We invite you to join us for the final presentation in our 2024 Maine Artist Film Series on Thursday, August 8th at 6pm. We will be showing two beautifully crafted films from local Maine artists... EAT FLOWERS and THE ARC OF OBLIVION.
The first film, EAT FLOWERS, is a short film inspired by British artist Cig Harvey’s, “Blue Violet”, a book of photographs and writing that explores themes of isolation, beauty, and loss. Told through a series of poetic vignettes, EAT FLOWERS brings us into the dreamy worlds that Cig creates for her best friend Mary who is being treated for Leukemia. These artistic gifts create a portal for us to experience magic in unexpected places: a dahlia compost heap, a field of yellow weeds, a disco ball. Cig’s vibrant, passionate work breaks open a world we didn’t know we were missing. EAT FLOWERS tells an urgent story about living, all through the language of flowers. Runtime: 14 minutes.
Filmmaker River Finlay (EAT FLOWERS) and Filmmaker Ian Cheney (THE ARC OF OBLIVION) will be with us for a post-screening Q&A. Doors open at 5:30pm. Films start at 6pm.

Coming to The Waldo on Thursday July 11th, “Jamie Wyeth and The Unflinching Eye”. Our first film in The Waldo’s annual Maine Artist Film Series is Glenn Holsten’s latest film about the life and work of Jamie Wyeth.
“You don’t have to be passionate about painting to be captivated by this well-edited and heartfelt documentary, but it might inspire you to pick up a paintbrush or, at the very least, to seek out Jamie Wyeth’s paintings at a museum.”
- NYC Movie Guru
As the heir to an unparalleled three-generation dynasty in American art, Jamie Wyeth struggles to find his own voice during the colorful turmoil of pop culture and politics from the 1960s to the present. This first feature-length documentary of the artist follows his journey capturing iconic figures like John F. Kennedy, Andy Warhol, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rudolf Nureyev, as well as his unique, sometimes unsettling, views of domestic life, the islands of Maine and his own personal ghosts. The film’s release coincides with a multi-city exhibition of Mr. Wyeth’s work.
Director Glenn Holsten will be joining us for a post-screening Q&A.
Adult tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door.
Doors open at 6pm. Film starts at 7pm.
Concessions will be available. Tickets here: https://waldotheatreinc.thundertix.com/events/228918

THE DEFIANT ONES at The Waldo on Friday, June 7th at 7pm.
THE DEFIANT ONES starring Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier screens at The Waldo on Friday, June 21st at 7pm (note this is the updated date & time!). Ben Curtis, Tony’s son, will be with us to present the film and answer questions post screening. Join us!
From Variety Magazine’s review published on December 31, 1957…
“The theme of THE DEFIANT ONES is that what keeps men apart is their lack of knowledge of one another. With that knowledge comes respect, and with respect comradeship and even love. This thesis is exercised in terms of a colored and a white man, both convicts chained together as they make their break for freedom from a Southern prison gang.
The performances by Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier are virtually flawless. Poitier captures all of the moody violence of the convict, serving time because he assaulted a white man who had insulted him. It is a cunning, totally intelligent portrayal that rings powerfully true.
As ‘Jocker’ Jackson, the arrogant white man chained to a fellow convict whom he hates, Curtis delivers a true surprise performance. He starts off as a sneering, brutal character, willing to fight it out to-the-death with his equally stubborn companion. When, in the end, he sacrifices a dash for freedom to save Poitier, he has managed the transition with such skill that sympathy is completely with him.
Picture has other surprises, not the least of which is Kramer’s sensitive and skilled direction, this being only his third try at calling the scenes. The scenes of Poitier and Curtis groping their way painfully out of a deep clay pit, their perilous journey down the river, as well as their clumsy attempt to break into a store and the subsequent near-lynch scene, become integral parts of the larger chase, for the posse is never far behind.”

TROUT FISHING IN AMERICA comes to The Waldo on April 13th at 4pm! Tickets are on sale now.
An eclectic folk/rock band comprised of bassist/vocalist Keith Grimwood (who occasionally plays fiddle) and guitar/banjo/bouzouki player/vocalist Ezra Idlet, TROUT FISHING IN AMERICA write songs for all ages. Known as the Lennon & McCartney of children’s music, the duo seamlessly blend in a way that has captured the imagination (and hearts) of audiences of all ages for over four decades. They make music for people who take their fun seriously!
Known for songs like “My Hair Had a Party Last Night,” about waking up to a very bad hair day, “Eighteen Wheels on a Big Rig,” a counting song about trucks, or the gross “Alien in My Nose,” Idlet and Grimwood can perform from the point of view of a 6-year-old or charm the adult crowd with folksy love songs.
General Admission tickets are $15 for this all ages show.
“Word spreads fast about TROUT FISHING IN AMERICA… Rare mix of musicianship, humor and inspiration…They’ve created a repertoire of original music that is a delightful mix of folk and rock highlighted by impeccable dual lead vocals and harmonies…”

TONIGHT AT 6:30pm! The Women’s Adventure Film Tour
Redefine your “Ladies Night Out” and gather yer pals for an inspiring selection of women-led films this Friday March 22nd at 6:30pm. One of the eight films we will be screening is A BITCH OF A RACE. Cyclist Anna Lena Kempen gave life to the idea for The Frigid Bitch Race over 9 years ago because there wasn’t a space for her in the male-dominated cycling field. She wanted to create an inclusive space for women (and quickly realized the importance of including all underrepresented genders). The race would be harder, longer, colder and more terrible and awesome than other races, and it would be just for us. Come check it out!
