Almost Maine Auditions

Almost Maine Auditions

Picture
"You can get there from HERE"​  - Featuring Official Maine song "MY SWEET MAINE" by Terry Swett
Picture
Almost, Maine is a play by John Cariani, comprising nine short plays that explore love and loss and a little bit of magic in a remote, mythical almost-town called "Almost", Maine. It premiered at the Portland Stage Company in Portland, Maine, where it broke box office records and garnered critical acclaim.  John Cariani released a new novel based on the play in 2022!  The warmth and humor of the Mainers that populate this story are truly extraordinary.
Auditions for Almost Maine will be held in April 2023

Please contact us if you are interested in auditioning.

In Person Auditions for non-union actors: TBD
Auditioners will be asked to prepare to read sides from the play.


Show dates:  July  7,8,21,22,23, 2023 at 7:30pm  (the show is 1.5 hours in length)

Rehearsal dates:  TBD - these are separated into vignettes that can be rehearsed separately, so the rehearsal process will be very flexible and fun!
