History of Maine's Lakewood Theatre by Jenny Oby, Author

"Like" our page to get updates on Jenny's book signings and for swell vintage postcards & images of Lakewood Theatre. This page is dedicated to the history of the Lakewood Theater Colony on Lake Wesserunsett in the Madison/Skowhegan area of Maine.

resent day as the State Theater of Maine, the Lakewood Theatre Colony embodies a rich local and cultural history. My name is Jenny Oby, and I am a native of Skowhegan (now living in Scottsdale, AZ). I authored a book for Arcadia Publishing, called "Images of America: Lakewood Theatre", which is available for purchase here on this page. I am also working on a second book that will contain more "local color" (stories of folks who remember Lakewood from long ago!). If you have photos, postcards, playbills, or stories about Lakewood that you would like me to use in one of my books, please message me or email me. Meanwhile, please “like” my page and share my posts so that we can work together to preserve the history of this wonderful theater colony.
