"Almost, Maine" Showing Fri-Sat., 11/14-15

D-E's Upper School (US) Performing Arts Department proudly presents the critically-acclaimed play by John Cariani, Almost, Maine on Friday, November 14 and Saturday, November 15, at 7:30 PM in Hajjar Auditorium. Tickets to Almost, Maine are all general admission and priced at $15 each, and can be purchased at the D-E School Store in Klein Campus Center.   Tickets will also be for sale at the Box Office beginning 30 minutes prior to curtain times. 

Director and D-E Performing Arts faculty member Robert Murphy provided the following comments on this upcoming, exciting US production: 

"The heart beats moment by moment by moment.  We live our lives in moments. We remember our lives in moments. We define ourselves by these moments: the moment I first fell in love; the moment I saw her face.  I remember the “moment” of my son’s birth like it was yesterday. I was there the “moment” my grandma passed.  Even so, sometimes we forget to “take a moment” and be “present.”"

"The people in Almost, Maine, a small town in northwestern Maine, which never quite got around to being organized into a “real” town, are in for a very special, magical, and unusual evening. It is a Friday night in the middle of winter just before 9:00 pm.  All of these individuals’ lives will be changed in one extraordinary moment. In simplest terms, the stories which unfold on a cold, bleak, Friday evening are all “love stories.”  But like the moments in every human life, each is unique to the people involved and not all have happy endings.  Nevertheless, what happens in a heartbeat can change one’s life forever."

A reception will be held after the performance on Opening Night (Friday, November 14, 2014), hosted by the D-E Parents' Association Friends of the Arts (FOTA).
