Romantic Comedy Coming to BCC Stage

October 23, 2012 - "Almost, Maine," a play that explores the mysteries of the human heart, will close out the fall drama season at the Simpkins Fine Arts Center's Studio Theatre on Brevard Community College's Cocoa campus.

Evening performances will be Friday, Nov. 9 and Saturday, Nov. 10 at 8 p.m. with a matinee on Sunday, Nov. 11 at 2 p.m.
All shows are $10 for adults and $7 for students, seniors and members of the military and tickets are available at the theatre on the day of the performance.

The play by John Cariani takes place on a cold, clear, moonless Friday night in the middle of winter, where things are not quite what they seem in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. As the northern lights hover in the sky, the town's residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways.

“It’s sweet, funny and tender, plus a little quirky," said Jeanine Henry, the Director of BCC's Theatre Arts program. "It’s an excellent date night play.”

The play's actors are students in BCC's Theatre Rehearsal and Performance class.

"Almost, Maine" opened off-Broadway in the winter of 2005 and has been performed hundreds of times since that New York debut, winning praise for its smart, funny take on life and love.
