GARDINER — The 17th year of the Early Evening Show, hosted by Maine’s own Mike Miclon, will get underway at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 16, at Johnson Hall.

This late-night talk show spoof has improvisation, sketch comedy, music, lots of special guests and surprises. No two shows are alike. The cast brings their warm personalities and goofy sense of fun to the stage and sometimes include an unsuspecting audience member or two.

Fritz Grobe, Oren Robinson and April Reed-Cox will join Miclon and the cast for this night of laughs and lively entertainment.

Seats cost $16 for adults, $14 for seniors, and $5 for youths younger than 17. Tickets are available at Johnson Hall’s box office from noon to 3 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday by calling 207-582-7144 or by visiting www.johnsonhall.org.
