CCP's 2011/2012 Season of Connections

The stars are aligned for season of connections.

 

“What we’re all striving for is authenticity, a spirit-to-spirit connection.” – Oprah Winfrey

 

The connection of one person to another, a husband to his wife, human beings to the world around them and the connection we each have to our roots and our beliefs. When we seek connections, we restore the world to wholeness. Our seemingly separate lives become meaningful as we discover how truly necessary we are to each other. That is the basis for our 2011-2012 season of shows.

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.

Winner of the American College Theatre Festival, this marvelous play depicts a small Indiana town during the summer of 1932.  An itinerant preacher drops in and befriends a boy named Buddy, who’s mentally impaired since he nearly drowned as a toddler and lost his mother in the river.  Consequently, Buddy is deathly afraid and hasn’t bathed in 12 years but is miraculously bestowed with the gift of divining water.  His burgeoning relationship with the preacher focuses on water’s symbolic power – how it heals, cleanses, blesses, gives life, and ultimately takes it away.
