The spring play for Baldwin High School is underway. This year’s play is called “Almost, Maine.” It is scheduled for a May release and director David Stephens feels prepared so far.

“I feel like we are on schedule so far,” Stephens said. “We’ve got a long way to go, so there’s plenty of time to work out the issues that will pop up,” 

Rehearsals had not started at the time of the interview, actors are doing what they can to prepare.

“We start rehearsals next Monday (March 10), so I don’t know yet. But I have one try-hard ***cough*** Layne Brittingham ***cough*** who wants to have her lines memorized by next week,” Stephens said.

Freshman Layne Brittingham is excited to be a part of the play and thinks it is a worthwhile thing to do.

“I have a rehearsal scheduled on my birthday actually, which is really sad, but I guess I’ll just have to adapt my schedule to the play’s schedule because it’s worth it to be hanging out with all these people and to do the play,” Brittingham said. “It’s gonna be worth my time so if I’m going to have to move something around I’d rather it be for the play.”

Brittingham is happy she is in the play but she will have to adjust her schedule for it. She is happy about the roles she was casted for.

“I am very happy because I got two lead roles, one is a waitress named Villain and the other is a weird hippy hiker girl named Glory,” Brittingham said.

Stephens had a hard time choosing who to cast.

“Yes, it was hard to choose,” Stephens said. “There is so much flexibility with the way the play is set up, so there were many options.”

This play has many different mini love stories in it.
