Almost, Maine
by John Cariani
Directed by Ally Farzetta
November 6-8 at 7:30 pm, November 8-9 at 2:00 pm
Join the Performing Arts Department for the fall Theatre Program production of Almost, Maine by John Cariani. Welcome to Almost, Maine, a place that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States. It’s almost in Canada. And it’s not quite a town, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it almost doesn’t exist. One cold, clear, winter night, as the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, the residents of Almost, Maine, find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night’s dream. Almost, Maine is a series of amiably absurdist vignettes about love, with a touch of good-natured magic realism…witty, romantic, unsentimental. A beautifully structured play, with nifty surprise endings.8 - Sat^8 a.m.MARCUS
Main Hall Lobby, Main Hall
The 27th Annual Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference for Undergraduate Scholarship (MARCUS) will take place on Saturday, November 08, 2025, hosted by Randolph College.
