The National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts Presents
ALMOST, MAINE
By John Cariani
Featuring: Toni Schwarz, Delaney Crawford, Dana Powell,
and Colton Farnham
Alumni Guest Artist: Kent Jameson Ehrman
Faculty Director: Ray Ficca
Welcome to Almost, Maine, a place that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States. It’s almost in Canada. And it’s not quite a town, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it almost doesn’t exist. One cold, clear, winter night, as the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, the residents of Almost, Maine, find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and 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 AUTHOR'S VOICE
by Richard Greenberg
Featuring: Jecholiah Evans
Alumni Guest Artist: Michael Dillahunt Jr. and Nathan Peterson
Faculty Director: Ray Ficca
A young writer with a "special voice" is celebrated for her brilliant work and invited by her handsome editor to toast their creative partnership. But soon, a shocking truth emerges—one that turns the world of publishing upside down and reveals who the true genius really is. What follows is a darkly comedic unraveling, where everyone gets exactly what they deserve.

We've been preparing people for careers in acting since 1975. Graduates enter the job market with a strong foundation in the craft of acting, the business savvy to be successful in a competitive market, and a network of professional contacts.
Students work closely with a faculty of professional actors, directors, producers, and playwrights who are actively working in theater, film, and television. The intensive training offered by our school can make your dream of working as an actor a reality. Tuition at NCDA is competitively priced for the area and dramatically lower than similar acting classes in LA and NYC.
The National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC).
Learn more about our acting classes, school events, and alumni activities.
At NCDA, we strive to provide students and alumni with the resources they need to be successful artists and creators. Please consider helping us further our cause with a tax-deductible donation to NCDA, a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity, through PayPal.
Thank you for helping in our pursuit of artistic excellence.
