Mount Desert Island High School Drama Presents: Cyrano

BAR HARBOR, ME – MDI Drama proudly announces its spring production of Cyrano, Barry Kornhauser’s vibrant and inventive adaptation of Edmond Rostand’s classic play Cyrano de Bergerac. This bold and theatrical retelling brings the beloved story of wit, romance, and self-discovery to life on the Higgins-Demas Theater stage at Mount Desert Island High School.

Performances are scheduled for:

• May 16, 17, 23 and 24 at 7:00 PM

• May 18 at 2:00 PM

Kornhauser’s Cyrano captures the humor, heart, and heroism of the original tale, while infusing it with a fresh, modern sensibility that speaks to audiences of all ages. At its center is the unforgettable character of Cyrano—brilliant with words, brave in battle, and burdened by insecurity—who helps a young soldier woo the woman they both love.

This production showcases the talents of MDI High School’s student actors, designers, and crew members, under the direction of Mark Puglisi, with tech directors Carlene Hirsch and Grey Burkart and costuming director Flannery Dillon. With lively performances, imaginative staging, and poignant storytelling, Cyrano promises an unforgettable theater experience.

Tickets will be available at the door. Come support local student theater and enjoy an evening (or afternoon) of laughter, love, and lyrical language.
