Providence Players’ audiences are raving about this wonderful comedy. Nine stories, each unique and magical, yet connected by time, place and the theme of love, will make audiences smile, laugh-out-loud, think and perhaps shed a tear. The talented cast marvelously captures both the witty and absurd magic of these stories as well as the authenticity of each story’s message. The play is wonderfully unpredictable and is simply great theater.

DcMetroTheaterArts.com’s Chuck Leonard says – FIVE STARS for Almost, Maine

“The Providence Players of Fairfax’s production of ‘Almost, Maine’ introduces those unfamiliar with the show to the joys and wonderment within it, and offers creative artistic choices that highlight the joys and beauty of the play. With nine separate stories, there are moments that highlight specific actors [among] the excellent ensemble. Having seen the play twice before, I have not previously received the same sense of a small town’s community, which [director] Gertzog reveals during scene changes….The Providence Players of Fairfax has produced a lovely version of ‘Almost, Maine,’ with enough original artistic choices to make it fresh and lovely.” Chuck Leonard, DCMetroTheaterArts

Almost, Maine, by John Cariani

Directed by Chip Gertzog

On a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter, all is not quite what it seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. As the northern lights hover, the residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night’s dream. This whimsical slice-of-life, written by John Cariani and performed by the Providence Players, is witty, romantic, clever and a real crowd-pleaser. A hit when it premiered off-Broadway, critics from coast to coast have since praised the poignancy and surreal wonder of Almost, Maine‘s overlapping vignettes about the joys and risks of love.

The New York Times said “ALMOST, MAINE is a series of nine amiably absurdist vignettes about love, with a touch of good-natured magic realism…witty, romantic, unsentimental. A beautifully structured play, with nifty surprise endings (most but not all of them happy).”
