PARIS — On Saturday, July 17, Celebration Barn Theater will welcome well-known theater actress Susan Poulin in “Shutting Up Peggy Lee.”

Written and performed by Poulin, with set design by Gordon Carlisle, “Shutting Up Peggy Lee!” is about reaching that point inlife when you feel as though you’ve arrived, then realizing, “now what?” It’s about being middle-aged — only funnier.

Poulin has been creating and touring her original theatrical productions since 1992. She was a featured performer in “The Mirth of Venus” and “The Mirth Canal” at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, The Maine Festival, the Minneapolis Fringe Theater Festival and Portland’s Cassandra Project.

Her essays have been published in the Portsmouth Herald, the online journal moe pi toe and the Twin Farms Anthology; and heard on Maine and New Hampshire public radio. She also performs with Harbor Light Stage in its “Bold Face” play reading series.

As her alter-ego, Ida, Poulin writes the popular Maine humor blog and podcast “Just Ask Ida” for Down East magazine.

Working in collaboration with Carlisle, an artist, musician and actor, Poulin’s critically acclaimed plays “In My Head I’m Thin,” “Spousal Deafness … and Other Bones of Contention,” “Pardon My French,” “Ida: Woman Who Runs With The Moose,” “Ida’s Havin’ a Yard Sale” and “A Very Ida Christmas” have broken box office records throughout the Northeast.

“Shutting Up Peggy Lee” will be presented at 8 p.m. Tickets are $14 for adults, $12 for seniors, $8 for students and children. Seating is general admission. Call 743-8452.
