A Magical Evening with Almost, Maine
By Mahasti Mofazali
The student production of Almost, Maine was pure magic. Set in the small, whimsical town of Almost, where love is both beautiful and bittersweet, the play brought the audience on an emotional rollercoaster—filled with laughter, tender moments, and everything in between.
The cast delivered each scene with such heart and authenticity, making us believe in every quirky and touching encounter. Whether it was someone carrying their broken heart in a bag or a couple discovering the literal “distance” between them, the performances felt honest and accurate. The balance of humour and vulnerability made the show so relatable, and you could hear the audience laughing one moment and holding their breath the next (especially Mister Pimental).
The set and lighting added to the magic. Subtle touches—like the soft glow of the northern lights made the whole evening feel like a dream. It was clear that the crew put just as much care into their work as the actors on stage, ensuring everything flowed seamlessly.
Putting on a play like Almost, Maine—with its mix of humour, whimsy, and emotional depth—is no easy task. But these students pulled it off beautifully. It wasn’t just a performance but a celebration of creativity, hard work, and storytelling. A great big thank you goes to Mr. Wener who worked his magic once again.
Congratulations to the entire cast and crew. You reminded us of the magic of theatre—and the many forms that love can take. Bravo!
