NY Premiere! Shadowland Stages is thrilled to be just the second theatre in the country to produce the newest play by John Cariani (playwright of ALMOST MAINE).

In northern Maine, near the Canadian border, the Perseid Meteor Showers have begun their magical trance over a certain small town and its occupants, brought to life in a series of short plays about love, hope, wishes and what it means to be understood.

90 min | Written by John Cariani | Directed by John Cariani
