The spring production Almost, Maine will not be performed After the Governor’s announcement on March 16, The Newtowne Players will cancel its spring production Almost, Maine by John Cariani. Due to the tight schedule of shows between now and the end of our season, the show will not be rescheduled. We are heartbroken that we cannot share the work of our actors, production team and volunteers with the public but must first be good stewards of the resources we have, namely our people. At this time we do not know how this closure will affect our upcoming production of A Night On Broadway, but will share additional information with our members and patrons as it becomes available. We are relaxing our exchange and refund policy until further notice. All patrons who have already purchased tickets to Almost, Maine will be contacted by a member of our front of house staff and will be allowed to transfer their tickets to one of the remaining shows in the season or receive a full refund of the ticket price. Please be patient as we have a lot of calls to make. We anticipate that this process will be complete by Sunday, March 22. Our board of directors are monitoring the situation closely and updates will be posted here on our website as often as necessary.
