Directed by Nancy Davis Booth, this production's ensemble features: Shannon Elias, Sean Hazen, Jon Lee, Molly McKasson, Sean Patrick and Chelsey Smith.
Welcome to Almost, Maine, a place that is so far north, it's almost not in the US and it's almost in Canada. It's not quite a town because its residents never got around to getting organized, so it almost doesn't exist! One clear cold winter night as the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, the residents of Almost, Maine find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal and the hearts almost mend in this delightful midwinter night's dream.
The Invisible Theatre is pleased to welcome The Society as a community partner for this production. A portion of the proceeds from one performance will go toward their work in the community. A talk back with the director, cast and production staff will take place following the performance on Nov. 21.
The show runs for 90 minutes without intermission. Age recommendation High School PG. Tickets are $42.00. Group and Student Discounts Available. For tickets and additional information visit http://www.invisibletheatre.com or call 520-882-9721

ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT
John Cariani is an actor and a playwright. He has appeared on Broadway and Off Broadway, at regional theaters across the country, and in several films and television shows. He's been nominated for a Tony Award and has done movies with Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken, and Ed Asner. Most people seem to know him from "Law and Order," where his character, Forensics Tech Beck, is alive and well in reruns. As a playwright, John is best known for his first play, ALMOST, MAINE, which premiered at Portland (Maine) Stage Company in 2004 and opened Off-Broadway in 2006. It has since become one of the most frequently produced plays in the United States and has been translated into nearly twenty languages.
