After more than a year of planning, scheming, organizing, experimenting, researching, and thinking, we are thrilled today to unveil our brand new website, just in time for the public launch of our 2014 season ticket campaign on November 1.

We send our HUGE thanks to the design folks at Ruby Porter Marketing and Design in Eugene who have created this new, improved site and coached us every step of the way through the website conversion process. They also took the time to really get to know our organization and our CT style -- and were completely unfazed when we rejected their first two designs as "lovely, but not us" in favor of this "3rd time's a charm" version. We give them our virtual standing ovation!

We hope you enjoy wandering around our new home on the web -- and we hope you are easily able to find the information you want. Your suggestions and comments are most welcome.

We especially hope this site tempts you to come visit us in person soon -- as that how the magic of live theatre happens!

Happy Birthday, new website, happy birthday to you!

For Immediate Release
October 9, 2013

Cottage Theatre announces auditions for Almost, Maine

Cottage Grove, OR — Cottage Theatre will hold open auditions for Almost, Maine by John Cariani on November 3 and 4  at 7:00 pm. Auditions will be held in the rehearsal hall at the theatre, located at 700 Village Drive in Cottage Grove. 

A cast of anywhere from 4 to 19 actors is needed for nine separate vignettes. A wide range of ages (16 years and up) will be considered, and the show calls for equal numbers of men and women. Almost, Maine will run for 10 performances from January 31 - February 16, 2014. Eliza Roaring Springs is the director.

Almost, Maine is a play about love and longing, friendship and isolation, melancholy and hope. The setting is a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter in the 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. The nine short, and sometimes quirky, vignettes all have a fable-like quality and the sweet simplicity of stories being told around a New England campfire. 

These auditions are open to any interested actors and no appointment is necessary. Auditioners are asked to come prepared to tell a 1-3 minute personal story from their life. For more information, please contact Cottage Theatre at (541) 942-8001 or visit www.cottagetheatre.org.
