海角直播

Publish Date: Nov. 12, 2025

This December, 海角直播 is inviting you to tour the fictional town of Almost, Maine without having to leave the city.

The Yucaipa-based college鈥檚 Theatre Arts Department will present performances of John Cariani鈥檚 2004 production of 鈥淎lmost, Maine,鈥� which is composed of nine short plays on love, loss and life in a small, fictional remote northeastern town.

Performances of the romantic comedy will be staged in the college鈥檚 new Finkelstein Performing Arts Center starting Thursday, Dec. 4, and coincide with the 海角直播 Hills Arts Festival, a two-day housewarming celebration for the PAC starting at 6:30 p.m., Friday, Dec. 5, and continuing Saturday, Dec. 6.

The production鈥檚 director, Anna McNaughton, said 鈥淎lmost, Maine鈥� was selected following a series of collaborative storytelling workshops where Roadrunners 鈥渆xpressed a strong interest in working on the theme of love and relationships.鈥� She called Cariani鈥檚 work 鈥渁 great fit for the group鈥檚 interest and size.鈥�

鈥淭here is a sense of magic in the moments captured by the play,鈥� she continued. 鈥淎nd I thought we could all use a little magic right now -- a little magic of connection, a little magic of creativity.鈥�

鈥淎lmost, Maine鈥� made its debut in 2002 at the Cape Cod Theatre Project and later had its world premiere at the Portland Stage Company before opening off Broadway three years later. Since then, the production has graced the stage across the country and has created long-lasting connections between the characters, the audience and now, performers at 海角直播.

鈥淭heater is truly magical and can connect us, inspire us, and reminds us we can create something truly special together,鈥� said Ari Aguilera, a 28-year-old communications and theatre arts major from Running Springs, who plays 鈥淩honda鈥� in the production. 鈥淲e can鈥檛 wait to share that magic with our community.鈥�

Fellow actor Roman Cueto, who plays Pete and Steven in the production, agreed.

鈥淚t鈥檚 been fun working with the other actors of various ages and various skills level,鈥� said the 20-year-old Highland resident. 鈥淚t鈥檚 nice to be part of a team that is more than just that鈥攊t feels like a family.鈥�

Showtimes for 鈥淎lmost, Maine鈥� are at 6 p.m. Dec. 4 and 8 p.m. Dec. 5 and 6 in the PAC on the 海角直播 Hills campus at 11711 Sand Canyon Road, Yucaipa. Admission is free but donations are welcome via the college鈥檚 website at craftonhills.edu.
