It’s 1956 and Hollywood has arrived in Natchez, Mississippi with its brightest stars to film Raintree County. Meanwhile at Clemmie’s, a Natchez tea room, the widowed proprietor who has a fascination with movies and a secret admirer, oversees her own cast of characters: Tootie, her take charge friend; Jo Beth, a former beauty queen; Glease, a man more comfortable with women than macho men, and Marjorie, an unethical social climber. Competition for a small role in the movie brings out the best and worst of these memorable characters. Twists, turns and revelations lead Clemmie to trade a moment of fame for love and the chance to impact the lives of people dear to her.

Troy Civic Theatre to present ALMOST, MAINE by Jon Cariani

TROY_Almost Maine logoTroy, Ohio, August 18, 2016:  Troy Civic Theatre is excited to announce their upcoming production, ALMOST, MAINE, a romantic comedy by playwright Jon Cariani.

It is a cold, clear, moonlit night during winter in the mythical unorganized area that is almost a town and is therefore known as Almost, Maine.  Saturn is at its brightest above Hedgehog Mountain, the Northern Lights are visible, and shooting stars light the sky as the residents (and some visitors) of this remote town find themselves experiencing all aspects of love.  They fall in and out of love, propose marriage, face divorce, confront the one that got away, meet the one that might be, mend broken hearts, and share first kisses.  As they explore the most human of emotions, they remind us what is most important – love for one another.

ALMOST, MAINE features Niccole SueAnn Wallace, Jennifer Kaufman, Sydney Edington, Beth Shrake, Tina Hayes, Jenny McClain, Steve Dietrich, Doug Lowe, and TCT newcomer Braden Stafford.  Director Derek Dunavent is also assisted by stage manager Peg Dietrich.

ALMOST, MAINE is being presented with permission by Dramatists Play Services.  Performances run September 16-18, and 23-24 at the Barn in the Park in Troy, at 8 pm on Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 pm on Sundays. Tickets are available by calling the theatre box office at 937-339-7700.  Season tickets will also be available, and include admission to Almost, Maine, Two By Two, Rumors, and Things My Mother Taught Me.

Troy Civic Theatre is a non-profit community theatre located about 20 minutes north of Dayton.  The theatre celebrated its 50th Anniversary Season during the 2015-16 theatrical season, and received several Dayton community and West Ohio regional awards for productions during that season.  For more information please contact the theatre at 937-339-7700.
