A cast of twenty students and a live band of six instrumentalists are set to perform in the spring play “Almost Maine” taking place Feb. 2-4 in the Rugby Auditorium.

The play, written by John Cariani, is a compilation of nine inter-connected scenes set during wintertime in a small town in Maine. The story follows the forming and breaking of various relationships between the characters.

Each scene consists of no more than three actors, and only two characters make repeat performances in the show. Each pair or trio of characters has its own scene, such as Casey Giolito ’17 and Kameron Cooper ’17 portraying Rhonda and Dave in the scene “Seeing the Thing.”

Students auditioned for the show Nov. 8-9 and all were called back for a second audition Nov. 10 in the Drama Lab. Students auditioned both individually and in pairs, performing for all other students auditioning during callbacks.

Performing arts teacher Christopher Moore released the cast list for the show in a series of emails to students Nov. 11 and rehearsals began Nov. 12.
