John Cariani is a Tony Award nominated actor and accomplished playwright, who is best known for his first play, "Almost, Maine." In conversation with Cariani, he will share his thoughts about playwriting, and passion for writing about 'unthought-of' communities, like those in rural Maine.
Cariani's latest play "Not Quite Almost" will be directed by Bates' Visiting Lecturer Sally Wood and will premier at Portland Stage Company in April.
Cariani will also be working closely with Bates students, in Acting and Playwriting classes, thanks to the Bates Learning Associates Grant.
