Hackmatack Playhouse in Berwick, Maine: "Once" • Register • View Cart •


Experience the raw, heartfelt magic of Once, the Tony Award-winning musical that celebrates the beauty of human connection and the power of music. Set on the streets of Dublin, Once tells the story of a disillusioned musician who is about to give up on his dream—until he meets a young Czech woman who reignites his passion. As they begin to make music together, their hearts and souls intertwine in unexpected ways, forging a bond that transcends language, background, and circumstance. Featuring the beloved Academy Award-winning song "Falling Slowly," this musical will resonate with anyone who believes in the magic of a single moment to change everything.
Once is a tribute to the strength of community and the healing power of art. With its minimalist staging and actors who double as musicians, this poignant  experience invites you to see beyond life’s difficulties to the beauty within each fleeting moment.

Much of the allure of the playhouse is centered around its rural and historical character. Nestled against a hill where American bison now graze, Hackmatack Playhouse is located on the historic Guptill homestead, where the Guptills have resided since the 1680s. Berwick, in the 1600s, was seen as the wild frontier of the New World.

The Guptill family remains committed to providing a place for the community to come together and appreciate affordable theater in a beautiful and serene setting.
