North Adams, MA- Mill City Productions will present the romantic comedy, “Almost, Maine” by John Cariani. Performances will take place on Fridays, February 8th & 15th at 8pm, Saturdays, February 9th & 16th at 8pm, and Sundays, February 10th & 16th at 2pm. The production is directed by Jeremy LaCrosse.
“Almost, Maine” is set on a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter, where all is not quite what it seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. As the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, Almost’s 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.
The cast features Yvonne Camacho, Gene Carlson, Justyna Carlson, Kari Daly, Jackie DeGiorgis, Nicholas Fahey, Gwen Farnsworth, Ben Grillon, Lina Grillon, Wendy Gregory, Todd Hamilton, Abby Jimmo, Bridget LaValley, Evan Marshall, Candace Morey, Annie Pecor and Charlie Waltermire.
Performances will take place at Mill City’s Theatre at Building 4N (next to the Visitor’s Center) in the Western Gateway Heritage State Park in North Adams. Admission is $10 for adults and $8 for students/seniors. Tickets are available at the door or can be purchased in advance by visiting www.millcityproductions.org.

Charles – Almost, Maine has several things going for it. First, it is currently the most produced play in American high schools, having recently replaced A Midsummer’s Night Dream in that role. It is also in the regional theatres, like Hartford’s TheaterWorks where it is running right now.
Written by an actor, it is perfect choice for North Adams audiences. A series of cute vignettes on life and love, there’s nothing pretentious about this selection from Mill City and it will give a lot of Berkshire actors a chance to show their stuff. – Larry
