Almost,
Maine, a play penned in 2007 by John Cariani, has become one of
the most frequently produced shows in the United States. It was
presented in the Mundelein High School Auditorium by MHS Theatre.
"Almost,
Maine is a unique story," said MHS Theatre director
Jonathan Meier. "I would describe it as a romantic fable. The
play was originally written for four actors playing multiple roles,
but MHS Theatre will be using a cast of 20. The play is made up of
nine different scenes, following the lives of the residents of this
small fictitious town in Northern Maine.
"These
are solid, hard working folks who are all effected by the appearance
of the northern lights, as they fall in and out of love on a cold,
clear, moonless night in the middle of winter," Meier continued.
The author has described it as a midwinter night's; it is funny,
sweet, whimsical and poignant. Molly Whitaker plays one of the Almost
residents. "I have loved participating in this production and am
proud to share the stage with such a talented group of people."
Whitaker explained, Almost,
Maine is
a true ensemble piece, with all of the roles being virtually equal."
