Darker the Night, Brighter the Stars
February 18 – March 8, 2026
Written by John Cariani
A younger generation of Maine lovers and dreamers wrestle with their relationships, their identities, and the day to day challenges of living. On a warm summer night where the Perseid meteor shower fills the dark sky with shooting stars and possibility, these young people connect and collide, asking big questions and seeking out answers in a quest to be seen for who they are. Playwright John Cariani (Almost, Maine) gives a heartfelt, honest voice to this next generation of Northern Mainers.
