Welcome to Almost, Maine, a town that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States—it’s almost in Canada. And it almost doesn’t exist. Because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it’s just…Almost. One cold, clear Friday night in the middle of winter, while the northern lights hover in the sky above, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in the strangest ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. Love is lost, found, and confounded. And life for the people of Almost, Maine will never be the same.

Auditions Announced for BORN YESTERDAY at Beechmont Players

BPI_logoBeechmont Players will hold auditions for the comedy BORN YESTERDAY (by Garson Kanin) at the Anderson Center [5870 Five Mile Road, 45230] on Monday, February 20, and Tuesday February 21 @ 7:00 PM with possible callbacks on Wednesday, February 22.

This still-timely comedy enjoyed one of the longest Broadway runs in history.

Arriving in Washington D.C.,  roughneck junk dealer Harry Brock is convinced that with money and a zeal for power, he can “run the men who run the country.” His only problem seems to be his very blonde and brash girlfriend, Billie Dawn– she’s just not smart enough to fit in. He decides she needs some culture. But he gets more than he bargained for as she and her tutor prove that a little bit of learning can be a dangerous thing!

Auditions will consist of readings from the script.  Bring resume, known conflicts for the period February 23rd through May 20th; headshot not necessary but welcome.
