Almost, Maine
by John Cariani
directed by Renee Sevier-Monsey
January 23–25 & January 30–February 1
It’s a clear, cold night in the mythical town of Almost, Maine, and many residents are falling in and out of love under the northern lights. Knees are bruised and hearts are broken, but they heal and mend—almost—in this midwinter night’s dream.

Reviews
“…extremely appealing eight-person cast, which has been directed with tenderness by Renee Sevier-Monsey.” — Dennis Brown, Riverfront Times
“Each scene is a vignette that pretty much stands on its own; taken together, they populate a small New England town with quirky, appealing characters and tender hearts.” — Judith Newmark, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
“It’s truly an ensemble effort, with no one performer neither standing out nor faltering behind. They make the most of Cariani’s clever word play and prove themselves equally adept at the work's slapstick tendencies, all resulting in plenty of laughs as well as more than a few poignant moments.” — Mark Bretz, Ladue News
