Almost, Maine Director's Letter

Almost, Maine is a beautiful depiction of human connection. We all hope for connection and love throughout our lives – people who understand us, accept us for all of our faults, know us completely. In our journey to find it, we risk heartbreak, we fall in love, we make mistakes, we grow apart, we find each other again, we move on, and the list goes on.

Almost, Maine Artistic Team

Everyone has a different story, and these characters show just a few. All imperfect, beautiful, broken and whole – all at the same time – a reflection of our world and our human experience. What a delight it is to tell these stories and remind you of your journey to find connection. We hope it brings back fond memories, maybe even difficult ones – all experiences and people that led you to where you are now and shaped who you’ve become.

Thank you to this cast who lovingly embraced such challenging material. They have shown such empathy for each of these characters and stories – allowing them to be real, and honest, and rich, and complicated, and flawed, and HUMAN. Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it. Thank you to each of you who have come to support live theatre – may you leave feeling a little more connected, a little more seen, and a little more loved.

High School Musical Jr. Director’s Letter

First Act’s Middle School Overnight Camp is always my favorite week of the summer. When I heard that High School Musical Jr. was our show this year, somehow my excitement for this week grew exponentially. My first camp experience with First Act was a High School Musical summer camp when I was five years old, and I cannot comprehend that I am now directing the musical with the same organization!

Nine to Five Director’s Letter

Before the 9 to 5 movie and musical we know and love, there was a movement that inspired both. 9to5 is an organization created in 1973 by clerical workers to respond to the inequities, unfairness, and outright harassment and discrimination they were experiencing in the workplace. These courageous, tenacious, and fierce women organized and banded together to advocate for themselves and for a better future for working women. 9to5 still exists today, fighting every day for equal wages, paid family leave, and a harassment-free workplace. Their work continues to advance racial and gender justice through community-led advocacy as they seek widespread, long-lasting change.
