The Vision
Through building an amphitheater that will:
- Be the heart of the Initiative, a center that will attract individuals, families, and communities locally and throughout Maine.
- Provide an outdoor public space for movies, lectures, theater, education, art classes, and community events.
- Create a speaker’s platform, nestled in the beauty of the land, to attract progressive visionaries.
- Establish a focal point to promote and educate the region’s extraordinary natural features, its rich cultural and historical resources, and its vibrant arts community.
- Introduce a forum for programs where people can explore their life’s passions and bring them into focus.
