Heartwood Regional Theater Youth Productions
Based in Damariscotta, ME, Heartwood promotes the theater art experience in the lives of children and adults in the community. Performers and audiences alike share an artistic experience that challenges the human spirit and inspires personal growth and enlightenment.
