CURRENT AUDITIONS
SecondStory Repertory is holding auditions for our December 2026 production of “Almost, Maine” by John Cariani. Directed by Yvonne Williams.
Welcome to Almost, Maine—a town so far north it "almost" doesn't exist on a map. On one deeply cold, clear Friday night in the dead of winter, the Northern Lights hover overhead as the town’s quirky residents find themselves falling in and out of love in the most unexpected, magical ways. Written as a series of nine interconnected, whimsical vignettes, this deeply heartfelt romantic comedy turns emotional metaphors into literal, physical realities. It’s an enchanting, bittersweet evening of theater that will warm your heart and remind you of the immense vulnerability it takes to love someone.
Audition Date: Sunday August 23, 2026 1pm to 5pm
