A May-gnificent Month

Hello and happy Lilac season!
This is my absolute favorite time of year. It’s so easy to get outside when the morning air is filled with the best scent in the world. Lately, my morning runs have turned into a series of pit stops just so I can take in the fresh blooms. Lilac season is always fleeting, but it's a beautiful reminder to slow down and (literally) smell the flowers before they’re gone.
Relive Our Annual Concert
I can’t believe it’s already been two months since our annual concert! If you missed the magic—or just want to experience it all over again—the full recording is now available on our YouTube channel.
A HUGE thank you to Anna Halloran for doing an incredible job recording and editing the video for us!
A Sneak Peek at Next Season
As we prepare to take our usual summer break from rehearsals, we decided to mix things up. Instead of waiting until autumn, we’ve already chosen our repertoire for next season!
While I can’t give too much away just yet, I promise you all are in for a treat. The lineup features current chart-toppers, timeless classics, and even a World War II-era bop. We cannot wait to dig into this music and share it with you next year.
What Else is New?
Outside of regular rehearsals, the Pitches have been keeping busy with—you guessed it—community theater! There is an incredible lineup of local shows opening over the next few weeks, so grab your tickets ASAP to support our members:
9 to 5, The Musical | Opens June 5 at Lyric Music Theater
American Idiot | Opens June 12 at Portland Players
Silent Sky | Opens June 12 at Maine State Ballet
PortFringe Festival | Running June 11–20 (Multiple shows!)
I feel incredibly lucky to live in a community where local theater is thriving and creativity runs so deep.
As you probably know, June is also Pride month, and you can expect to see the Pitches out there flaunting our rainbow gear all month. Summer is just around the corner, but we still have a few surprises up our sleeves. Keep an eye on our social media pages so you don’t miss a thing! ;)
Until next time, enjoy the sunshine, show your Pride, and keep singing!
