Waterville Opera House Enlivens Stage with Filmed Play Almost, Maine Available for Streaming OnlineWaterville, Maine The Waterville Opera House (WOH) is making its first foray into the world of filmed theatre with a production of Almost, Maine. Written by Tony-nominated John Cariani, the script of Almost, Maine opens with a dedication for Northern Maine and the people who live there. Cariani, who spent most of his youth in Presque Isle, has certainly put Maine on the mapAlmost, Maine is one of the most frequently produced plays of the last decade in North America. The play presents a series of charming vignettes about life in The County, aka Aroostook County, Maines northernmost and largest county. Praised by the Portland Press Herald as a funny, warm, and oh-so-human romantic comedy, this show promises to delight Maine residents and visitors alike. Due to the format of the play, which is made up of distinct stories, most featuring two actors, WOH will be able to showcase 18 local performers while carefully prioritizing actor safety and strictly adhering to current health and safety protocols. These safety precautions are made simpler by the fact that most of the actors are married to their scene partners. This special production will not be taking place on Zoom or from actors homes. Almost, Maine will be captured on the Waterville Opera House stage with the design, filming, and editing done by Opera House staff. Opening on Friday, December 4th, this production will run through Sunday, December 13th online via the ShowTix4U streaming platform.
