Almost, Maine revisited

Almost, Maine   
Returns to the stage!

https://www.pressherald.com/2020/01/13/almost-maine-affirms-the-power-of-truth-and-the-wonder-of-love/



The play is told in a series of eight vignettes, each dedicated to a couple in various stages of falling in and out of love on a cold, starry night in a faraway place. The characters are full of wonder, hope and desire, and are trusting and vulnerable. They refuse to live with cynical hearts. It’s a love story, even if Cariani’s story doesn’t always end happily. “Everybody is dealing with life, love and death,” Cariani has said about his play. “That’s why I wrote ‘Almost, Maine.'”

January 14, 2020 Almost, Maine


Good Morning!

Tonight, please bring your conflict dates, a blank note book or pad, and a snack to share!! 

Begin thinking about your "backstory".  

Question:
What is your character's object for your scene?

Question: 
What does your character want from the scene?  

Question:
What is your character's ultimate goal (s)?

We begin at 7:15 p.m.


Keep Ithaka always in your mind.

Arriving there is what you are destined for.

But do not hurry the journey at all.
Better if it lasts for years,
so you are old by the time 
you reach the island,
wealthy with all you have gained on the way,
not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.
Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey."
                                                         C.P. Cavafy
