CLARKSVILLE, TN –The aurora borealis sets the stage for the latest offering upstairs in the Roxy Regional Theatre’s 50-seat black box theatre.  John Cariani’s whimsical romantic comedy Almost, Maine begins a limited run in theotherspace at the Roxy on Monday, March 27, at 7 p.m..

Directed by Kenneth L. Waters Jr., with intimacy choreography by Emily Ruck, the play is a series of nine charming vignettes that explore love and loss in the remote, mythical almost-town of Almost, Maine — a place that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States. It’s almost in Canada. And it’s not quite a town, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So, it almost doesn’t exist.

One cold, clear winter night, as the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, the residents of Almost, Maine — played by Allison Graham, David Graham, Bradley Oosterink and Ebony Strong — find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. Knees are bruised, and hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend — almost — in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.

Almost, Maine is presented in theotherspace, the 50-seat black-box theatre located upstairs at the Roxy, and plays at 7 p.m. four nights only: March 27, 28, April 3 and 4. In keeping with the theatre’s pay-what-you-can opening night tradition, all tickets not pre-sold at the regular price will go on sale at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, March 27, for a $5 minimum donation.

Tickets are $30 (adults) and $15 (10 and under) and may be reserved online at www.roxyregionaltheatre.org, by phone at 931-645-7699, or at the theatre during regular box office hours (9 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday, and one hour prior to curtain).
