SCOUNDREL & SCAMP THEATRE presents Almost, Maine

 

 

SCOUNDREL & SCAMP THEATRE

The Scamp Company presents

Almost, Maine

Directed by Zac Austin

 

 

Welcome to Almost, Maine—a place so far north it’s almost not in the United States, almost in Canada, and 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 find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.

About the Play

Emery is content living in her treehouse, communing with her beloved plants. Her sister Hazel is miserable, grinding away at the only diner in Millerville to support the two of them. And Luanne is yearning for something — anything — to bring meaning into her life.

When Emery's YouTube videos of her plant experiments accidentally launch a cult — a CULT! — all three women are plunged into a very different kind of chaos. Each must find her own way to live, to love, and to decide what to believe.

Equal parts warm and whimsical, Rooted is a glimpse into everyday moments that reminds us of the lasting importance of family, friendship, and the quiet magic that surrounds us when we're paying attention.
