Rated N  for "Naughty" 

An Evening at Dave's Sauna tells the tale of just one evening back in 1980 at the legendary/infamous Dave's Sauna in South Paris, Maine. Where hippies, rednecks, bikers, townies, swingers, and all kinds of folks would come for a sauna (and maybe more!)

Based on true accounts of the little sauna
back in its HEYDAY!

Watch and listen as the legendary/infamous "Sauna" Dave shares his own philosophies on life, chats up the ladies and takes care of “commerce”.  
 
Meet Weird Rob, Bearded Hippie, Off-Duty Waitress, 9-5 Guy, Neighbor Not Happy, Local Town Cop, Trailer Park Woman, MassHole, Dave’s best friend Saul, his wife Nancy, her best friend Josephine, the seductive Sauna Sirens and many other colorful characters.
Come enjoy and remember how it was to "live life right". 


*The Oxford County landmark opened in Paris ME, 1976 as Dave’s Sauna, after Dave Graiver, who ran it until he passed away in 2008. His obit made note of “divorces, audits, and visits from the FBI” and described how his “freewheeling spirit attracted everyone from yahoos to yuppies.” So naturally, his sauna lodge became a local hub for hanging out, swapping stories, and BYO drinking.*

Antonio Harmsen Villa as The Bearded Hippie!
Antonio came to Harrison last summer to work on Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike! - and to enjoy life. He managed to do both, plus he  honed many of his backstage and technical theatre skills and crafts.  He is now the production manager for Deertrees Theatre!  You might've seen him last year as Spike, the young (and nearly naked!) lover ... Get ready this year for something very different (he is still as hot as a sauna!)!!!
