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.
ROLES AVAILABLE
Looking for six young actors who can portray a range of characters, emotions, and life stages. It should be noted that one of the male actors should be short to play the role of Man/Daniel to emphasise the meaning of the scene.
Villanova Players and the creative team of Almost, Maine are committed to diverse and inclusive casting. We strongly encourage performers from diverse backgrounds, including those of various ethnic backgrounds, ages, genders, disabilities, and neurodiversities.
A notable aspect is that this play portrays genuine chemistry among the characters and those
around them. Actors will need to perform great emotion over long scenes.
