By John Cariani
Directed By Amanda Clark Presented through special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc. PERFORMANCE DATES May 3rd - May 18th, 2019 Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm Sundays at 2pm Run Time: Approximately 2 hours, with a 15-minute intermission SYNOPSIS In the town of Almost, Maine, people experience the life-altering power of the human heart. In a series of playful and surreal experiences, 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. Not suitable for all audiences. BEYOND THE PAGES OF THE SCRIPT Experience the play Beyond The Pages of the Script with Beaverton Civic Theatre's free enrichment programming! Wednesday, May 1st • 7pm Beaverton City Library Auditorium Why do we fall in love with the people we do? Why do some relationships last and others falter?
