Almost, Maine

By John Cariani

Directed by Alex Draper

4 performances: October 29-31 in Seeler Studio Theatre

On a cold, clear, moonless winter night in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine, things aren’t quite what they seem.  Beneath the northern lights in a star-filled sky, residents fall in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways.  Knees are bruised and hearts are broken — but in this delightful midwinter night’s dream, the bruises heal and the hearts mend.

Casting 8 roles.

3 stage Management positions available

Antigone

by Sophocles

a production with songs, music, and movement.

Directed by Michole Biancosino

3 performances: December. 3-5  in Wright Memorial Theatre

Given the choice to follow the law of the state or her own sense of duty to her family, a young woman stands up and resists, even though she risks losing everything.  This timely Greek tragedy explores justice, conscience, and what it means to live by one’s beliefs. 

Casting 10-15 roles. Singers and Musicians needed and encouraged to attend auditions and/or email the director about your interest.

3 Stage Management positions available.

We will hear people individually in the order they have signed up. All are requested to have a 45 - 60 second monologue, memorization and preparation are strongly preferred. The monologue can be either classical or contemporary.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are unable to attend auditions in person, please send a short video of your monologue to professors Alex Draper and Michole Biancosino. Videos received by Wednesday, April 15 will be considered for the callbacks. 

Need a Monologue?

You can bring your own or the Theatre Department has a few options available for you here (you must be signed in to Google with your Midd credentials). 

Interested in getting involved in productions not as a performer? 

Interested in being part of a production but not as a performer? There’s more to theatre than what the audience sees! You can enroll in Spring Production Studio: Acting as a stage manager or assistant stage manager (requires permission from director), or enroll in Spring Production Studio: Design and create lighting, scenery, and props. Student shows need designers, stage managers and light and sound board operators.
