accompanied by a British warship as he returns with supplies to
Machias ,which teeters on the brink of starvation. Learning that their
lumber is to be used to build barracks for the British, the desperate

fighting at Lexington and Concord. When the British ship fires on the
town, the townsfolk marshal their meager military resources and
capture the ship - the first captured war vessel of the Revolution.

Sep 26, 2009. All Bread and Puppet Theater shows, created and designed

paintings, buildings, and landscapes - seemingly breathe with
Schumann's distinctive visual style of dance, expressionism, dark
humor and low-culture simplicity. Performance at 7 p.m. Map + Directions
