Almost, Maine was produced and directed by Suzanne Niedland at the Burt Reynolds Institute for Film & Theatre. It ran for 5 sold out performances from April 28 – May 2, 2010.
On a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter, all is not quite what it seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. As the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, Almost's residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night's dream.
John Cariani’s “Almost, Maine” is a series of nine amiably absurdist vignettes about love, with a touch of good-natured magic realism.
