Selected by Portland Magazine as one of the "Ten Most Intriguing People in Maine,” writer/performer SUSAN 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, and at The Maine Festival, the Minneapolis Fringe Theater Festival and Portland, Maine’s Cassandra Project. Her work has been supported by the NH State Council on the Arts, the Maine Arts Commission and the Maine Humanities Council. Susan is also a popular keynote speaker, and has brought her humor and insight to presentations for groups such as Seacoast Women’s Week, the American Cancer Society (New England Division), and the Personal Historians National Conference. As her alter-ego Ida, Susan writes the popular Maine humor blog and podcast, "Just Ask Ida," for Down East magazine (downeast.com/blogs/justaskida). She is currently writing her first book, which will be published by Islandport Press in the spring of 2012.
GORDON CARLISLE has been actively involved as a visual artist, songwriter and actor in the greater Portsmouth, NH area for over twenty-five years. A graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute, Gordon primarily makes his living as a visual artist, creating both private and public murals, theatrical set design, portraits, graphics and illustration. In 1999, Gordon was awarded a New Hampshire State Council on the Arts Individual Artist Fellowship for his achievement as a muralist. He is currently working on two Percent for Art commissions. The first, a landscape painting, is slated to be installed at the Merrimack NH County Courthouse in June. His second commission is a large, modular mural designed for the interior of the soon-to-be renovated Seashell Complex at Hampton Beach State Park. The installation will take place sometime during the fall. His studio artwork has been exhibited across the U.S. (gordoncarlisle.com).
