“Almost, Maine”
By John Cariani with special permission from Dramatist Play Service Inc.
Directed by Joe Culley
A Friday night in the middle of winter in Almost, Maine can get pretty cold and snowy. But happy and not so happy romances seem as abundant as the stars twinkling in the deep blue sky that overarches actor turned playwright John Cariani’s vignettes. As groups of stars form constellations, so these brief episodes are connected by time and place (each occurs on a Friday night in the middle of winter in and around Almost) as well as their wistful charm, quirky humor and bracing sense of hopefulness.
Director Joe Culley has worked most effectively to bring his vision and the atmosphere of a tiny town where moving South for easier living doesn’t mean Florida but Vermont. You are sure to find this endearing little show just the ticket for escaping from cell phones and tensions to a world where a kiss is not just still a kiss but a life changing big deal.
Each night the Valparaiso Theatrical Company will be spreading hope by donating to part of the proceeds to a different chosen charity.
