Dying to Know is an original play by Maine playwright David Butler, which he wrote and revised over the last 10 years. Mad Horse produced a staged reading of Dying to Know via it's By Local program in 2015. With tenderness and humor Dying to Know explores our struggle to come to terms with death. Our mission is to produce plays that compassionately examine and illuminate the enduring aspects of the human experience.
Our work focuses on areas of social concern, personal transformation, and the building of lasting community relationships. Only through gifts, from generous individuals like you, are we able to share our passion. With your support, we can continue to produce what Mad Horse does best: live theater that reflects all the power and passion that are at the core of being human.

Mad Horse Theatre Company was founded in 1986 in Portland as a professional resident theater ensemble. The Company quickly developed a reputation for innovative interpretations of cutting-edge contemporary plays as well as the dramatic classics. After performing in a variety of venues, we secured a lease on our own building in 2009 from the city of South Portland.
