On a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter, all is not quite what it seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. As the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken.

Village Players Seeks Actor for Role in ALMOST, MAINE

VP_logoVillage Players is seeking an actor 35-45 for the role of Chad in the scene “They Fell” of ALMOST, MAINE.

Chad is a blue-collar, Natty Light drinking character who is knocked off his feet by unexpected feelings. The production runs February 14-22, and rehearsals begin on January 8. This is a relatively minimal commitment (you will not be called more than twice a week until tech) and a great opportunity to join an already exceptional cast.

VP_A Year with Frog and ToadA YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD
Presented by Village Players
Dec. 6-15
Fort Thomas

Directed by Ivory Mazur

Cast: Tatiana Godfrey as Frog, Doug Bruening as Toad, Lindsey Morgan as Bird/Mouse/Mother Frog/Dancing Mole/Fish, Isabella Siska as Bird/Young Frog/Dancing Mole, Judy Sceifres as Bird/Turtle/Father Frog/Singing Mole, Richie Macknight as Mole #2/Squirrel #1/Fish, Lucy Mullen as Mole #1/Squirrel #2/Fish, RJ Caldwell as The Large and Terrible Frog, Merritt Beischell as Lizard/Dancing Mole & Ivory Mazur as Snail

Well-loved characters hop from the page to the stage in this Tony-nominated musical. This whimsical show follows the cheerful, popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad through four seasons. Waking from hibernation, Frog and Toad plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding, and learn life lessons along the way. Part vaudeville and part make believe, with a jazzy, upbeat score, “Frog and Toad” is an enchanting musical for all ages.
