LP_Almost Maine logoALMOST, MAINE
Lumos Players
Aug. 4-6
Lakeview UCC [Maineville]

Directed by Jennifer Martin

Cast: Jonathan Turbin as Pete, Darien Hewett as Ginette, Shelby Carter as Glory, Olivia Burkart as East, Michael Cline as Jimmy, Darien Hewett as Sandrine, Karen Sence as Waitress, Amy Haake as Maryalyn, David Hart as Steve, Michel Cline as Lendall, Shelby Carter as Gayle, Jonathan Turbin as Randy, David Hart as Chad, Amy Haake as Hope, Michael Cline as Man, Jonathan Turbin as Phil, Karen Sence as Marci, Shelby Carter as Rhonda & Olivia Burkart as Dave

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.

East Side Players
July 28-Aug. 6
Blue Ash Recreation Center: Amphitheater

Directed by Rachelle Penilla

Great fun for the whole family, Shrek is the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking donkey and a feisty princess. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Outdoors. Bring seating.
