BWW Review: ALMOST MAINE at Castle Craig Players

On Saturday, November 9, I had the pleasure of seeing ALMOST MAINE as put on by the Castle Craig Players at the Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse in Meriden, CT.  This comedy by John Cariani is the kind that I truly enjoy, a well written script with phenomenal performances all around.  It is refreshing to see a relatively modern (2004) show that is genuinely humorous, original, mostly family-friendly (with a few exceptions), and not political.  Having not been previously familiar with this show or this playwright, I am extremely impressed.

It's Love â€" But Not Quite â€" In Castle Craig Players' ALMOST, MAINE

Almost, Maine... it's a town that's so far north, it's almost not in the United States-it's almost in Canada. And it almost doesn't exist. Because its residents never got around to getting organized. So, it's just...Almost.

Winner of 7 Tony Awards, Stephen Sondheim's groundbreaking musical is a wildly funny look at relationships.

With a brilliant score by one of the greatest composers of our time, COMPANY features memorable and intricate songs, such as "Not Getting Married Today", "The Ladies Who Lunch" and "Being Alive."
