The Minstrel Players to Present ALMOST, MAINE

The Minstrel Players will present the wonderful and touching romantic comedy, "Almost, Maine" by John Cariani.

A woman carries her heart, broken into nineteen pieces, in a small paper bag. A man shrinks to half his former size, after losing hope in love. A couple keep the love they have given each other in large red bags, or compress the mass into the size of a diamond.

These playful and surreal experiences are commonplace in the world of John Cariani's Almost, Maine, where on one deeply cold and magical Midwinter Night, the citizens of Almost -- not organized enough for a town, too populated for a wilderness -- experience the life-altering power of the human heart. Relationships end, begin, or change beyond recognition, as strangers become friends, friends become lovers, and lovers turn into strangers. Propelled by the mystical energy of the aurora borealis and populated with characters who are humorous, plain-spoken, thoughtful, and sincere, Almost, Maine is a series of loosely connected tales about love, each with a compelling couple at its center, each with its own touch of sorcery.

Almost, Maine by John Cariani, directed by Jordan Hue, features Carl Nehring, Jes Almeida, NICOLE INTRAVIA, Evan Donnellan and Tricia Ieronimo.

Performances run April 29th & May 6th at 8 pm and April 30th & May 7th at 3 pm at Trinity Episcopal Church in Northport, 130 Main Street, Northport, NY. Visit theminstrelpayersinc.org or call 516-557-1207 for more information. Tickets $20 for adults, $15 for seniors and children.
