Actors Needed for "Almost, Maine" Play Audition
Seeking actors for production of "Almost, Maine". ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See more info below. About the project: SYNOPSIS: A woman carries her heart, broken into nineteen pieces, in a small paper bag. A man shrinks to half his former size, after losing hope in love. A couple keep the love they have given each other in large red bags, or compress the mass into the size of a diamond. These playful and surreal experiences are commonplace in the world of John Cariani’s Almost, Maine, where on one deeply cold and magical Midwinter Night, the citizens of Almost — not organized enough for a town, too populated for a wilderness — experience the life-altering power of the human heart. Relationships end, begin, or change beyond recognition, as strangers become friends, friends become lovers, and lovers turn into strangers. Propelled by the mystical energy of the aurora borealis and populated with characters who are humorous, plain-spoken, thoughtful, and sincere, Almost, Maine is a series of loosely connected tales about love, each with a compelling couple at its center, each with its own touch of sorcery. Additional info: Prepare ONE of the monologues attached. **Randy & Chad: Must be comfortable playing a gay character. No physical intimacy involved. Call backs if needed: January 16, 7PM to 9PM Show dates: Saturday March 15 & 22 at 8PM, Sunday March 16 & 23 at 3PM. If you are interested, please apply.
