Almost Maine is a collection of stories about love. From stories about seeing exes, to meeting new love, and falling out of a long love, all eight scenes are set in a small town in winter where the northern lights shine.

I co-designed the productions costumes and co-lead our costume crew to organize, create, and order all of our costume pieces. With the beginning of a new school year and Covid on the rise, we had to adjust our fall production to fit new rules. These included costuming two casts who would perform every other night, that way we’d have replacements in case of quarantine. The biggest difference was the opportunity to perform the show outside in a tent. This meant working to insulate all of the actors so they wouldn’t freeze in the outdoor conditions.
