Players Present Almost, Maine in November
(Fair
Lawn, October 17, 2010) Fair Lawn’s Radburn Players will present Almost, Main, in six performances
November 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20 at the Radburn Grange, 29-20 Fair Lawn Avenue inFair Lawn. Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances begin at 8pm, with a matinee on Sunday, November 14 at 2pm.
Written by John Cariani, the
play takes place on a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle
of winter, where all is not quite what it seems to be in the
remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. As the northern lights
hover in the star-filled sky above, Almost’s residents find
themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often
hilarious ways. Knees are bruised, hearts are broken. But the
bruises heal and the hearts mend – almost – in this delightful
midwinter night’s dream.
Founded
in 1930, The Radburn Players is one of the oldest continually
operating theater groups in New Jersey. For more information,

This internationally
acclaimed play is a trio of interwoven ghost stories set in
the cave country of rural North Carolina. After a young girl
is lost in a cave on the edge of town, theater goers are immersed
in her disappearance and the fate of those who survive her.
With evocative poetry and striking images, "Language of
Angels" is a deeply human story of working class youth
bound by poverty and pushed to the limits of friendship as they
deal with grief and loss in their lives. The play contains adult
themes and language.
The public is welcome
to attend a free wine and cheese "Meet the Cast" reception
immediately following the second Saturday show on Nov. 21.

Iizuka is a recipient of a Whiting Award, a Rockefeller Foundation
