AUBURN, Ala.- The Auburn Area Community Theatre (AACT) will hold open auditions on Dec. 2 and 4 from 6-8 p.m. for its upcoming production, “Almost, Maine," at the Jan Dempsey Community Arts Center.

One clear cold 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, and hearts are broken, but bruises heal, and hearts (almost) mend in this delightful midwinter night’s dream. This quirky collection of stories is loved by so many that it is consistently one of the most-produced plays in America.

AACT will be casting for 18 roles. No previous experience is necessary. The minimum age for auditioning is 18.

Rehearsals will begin on Jan. 6, 2025, with a required read-through on Dec. 16 at 6 p.m. Actors will be expected to be familiar with their lines when rehearsals start.

Because of the episodic nature of “Almost, Maine,” each scene requires two or three actors of various ages who will rehearse for one hour, twice a week. Rehearsals are five weeks total. Performances will be Feb. 6-9.
