Almost, Maine – February 2025 – CD Players Theater – Audition Packet
Available Roles
? Almost, Maine is a series of loosely connected vignettes featuring different characters. It
offers a flexible cast size of 4-19 people. Ideally, we would like to cast a small but strong
cast of actors willing to play multiple roles. If you would prefer to be cast in only one or
? Several roles require onstage kissing and intimacy with other actors and are indicated
below with an asterisk (*). If you are not comfortable with this, consider auditioning for a
different role. Minors and adults will not be cast together in scenes featuring intimacy.
? Auditions are open to performers aged 16+
? Roles are open to actors of any gender identity or physical appearance. Anyone who is
comfortable playing the gender of the characters can play the roles. The ages listed are
of the characters, not the actors.
? A note from the playwright: The people of Almost, Maine are not simpletons. They are
not hicks or rednecks. They are not quaint, quirky eccentrics. They don’t have funny
Maine accents. They are not “Down Easters”. They are not fishermen or lobstermen.
They don’t wear galoshes and rain hats. They don’t say, “Ayuh.” The people of Almost,
Maine are ordinary people. They work hard for a living. They are extremely dignified.
They are honest and true. They are not cynical. They are not sarcastic. They are not
glib. But this does not mean that they are dumb. They’re very smart. They just take time
to wonder about things. They speak simply, honestly, truly, and from the heart. They are
never precious about what they say or do.
