A “first rate revue”, re-imaging classic Rodgers and Hammerstein, combining both familiar
and lesser-known music. It was nominated for two Tony Awards, for Best Musical and Best
Book of a Musical, and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revue.
“A splendiferous show of songs, a terrific compendium. Everything’s up to date with Rodgers and
Hammerstein—it is indeed a grand night!”—New York Post

On a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter, all is not quite what it seems 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.
The Wall Street Journal named Portland Stage’s production of ALMOST, MAINE one of ten must-see
shows for the 2004-2005 regional theater season.

By David Mamet / Directed by Amy Sellars
Disclaimer: This play contains adult subject matter and content, and is not suitable for children.
A male college instructor and his female student sit down to discuss her grades and in a
terrifyingly short time become the participants in a modern reprise of the Inquisition.
Innocuous remarks suddenly turn damning. Socratic dialogue gives way to heated assault.
The relationship between a somewhat fatuous teacher and his seemingly hapless pupil
turns into a fiendishly accurate x-ray of the mechanisms of power, censorship and abuse.
A war of words, verbal jousting, and thought-provoking piece. Everyone will have an opinion to
express after the curtain falls on Oleanna.
April 7, 8, 9*, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22**
Auditions: Feb. 12, 13 CB: Feb. 15

Directed by Dickson Lane
Following in the tradition of our British counterparts, Nutley Little Theatre is presenting
a “Holiday Panto.” This is sure to be a fun time for young and old alike. Filled with music,
humor and just all-around good fun, and generally wrapped around a message of hope
and good will, the Panto can be anything from a staged reading, to a series of sketches to a
well-known short play about the holidays or life its own self.
We’ll have more information about the specific Panto later in the season. We are hoping this will
become a regular tradition, but let’s see how much you like this first one.
December 9, 10, 11*, 16, 17**
*2 p.m. / **There will be a 2 p.m. and an 8 p.m. performance on December 17.
This is a fundraiser solely for the benefit of Nutley Little Theatre.

The April 7 performance is for the benefit of Oasis House.
By Paul Rudnick / Directed by Ron Mulligan
Disclaimer: This play contains adult subject matter and content, and is not suitable for children.
This witty Manhattan comedy explores marriage equality, friendships and squandered riches.
Take one high-powered attorney, blend with his deliriously social fashionista wife, and stir things
up with their closest friend, one of the world’s most staggeringly successful fashion designers.
Add a “bridezilla” daughter and mix with a wacky maid, a cocktail-fueled mother, President G.W.
Bush and stir to create a “saucy, sharp-tongued comedy of uncivil disobedience”—N.Y. Sun.
