The Auburn Players open their 56th Theatre Season with a whimsical and quirky love story. Almost, Maine by John Cariani is a romantic comedy in nine vignettes.
“A snowy charmer. These nine tales of love in the time of frostbite have a winning glow that proves surprisingly contagious.” The New York Sun
The tales unfold in the chill of midwinter under the northern lights, which adds a magical element as part of each story. Love sparkles under the aurora borealis in the unofficial town of Almost, Maine. “Almost” never quite got there because “We never got organized, ” explains one of the characters.
“A whimsical approach to the joys and perils of romance (where) magical happenings bloom beneath the snowdrifts,” The New York Times
Every scene takes place at 9 p.m. somewhere in Almost. Unexpected verbal turns and plot developments twist expectations and keep the audience guessing. The stories are full of sweet, and sometimes unexpected, surprises.
“This is a beautifully structured play, with nifty surprise endings (most but not all of them happy)”
Almost, Maine is directed by Jenn Derbyshire and Bob Frame, who make sure you are in for a good time!
Performances are at 8 p.m., Thursday through Saturday & 2 p.m. on Sunday at the Irene Bisgrove Theater at Cayuga Community College, 197 Franklin St., Auburn.
