LEWISTON — Maine’s funny woman and Down East Magazine’s humorist Susan Poulin will return to The Public Theatre as Ida Le Clair in her latest show, “The Moose in Me, The Moose in You,” playing Nov. 4-13.

In this new show, Ida has found her “inner moose” and become a Certified Maine Life Guide. After years of “Running with the Moose,” she has picked up a few pointers and is eager to share the wisdom of their ways.

Taking inspiration from Maine’s four-legged friend, Ida covers topics from A to Zumba, and offers helpful hints to live a happier life.

Selected by Portland Magazine as one of the “Ten Most Intriguing People in Maine,” Poulin has been creating and touring her original theatrical productions for 17 years. Working in collaboration with artist, musician and actor Gordon Carlisle, her 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!,” “A Very Ida Christmas” and “Shutting Up Peggy Lee!” — have broken box office records throughout the Northeast.

“The Moose in Me, The Moose in You” will be presented Nov. 4, 5, 6, 11, 12 and 13 at the theater at 31 Maple St. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. For tickets, $18 for adults, call 782-3200. For more information, visit www.thepublictheatre.org.
