August 7-9 and August 12-16
at Ancram Center for the Arts

Written and performed by Todd Almond

I’m Almost There, a critically acclaimed musical journey by Todd Almond (Girl from the North Country, Gossip Girl), comes to Ancram Center directly from BAM. Directed by Tony Award winner David Cromer (Good Night, and Good Luck; The Band’s Visit; Our Town), the piece transplants The Odyssey into the modern world of dating. The monsters here are nosy neighbors, and the path leads through self-deprecation, heartfelt longing, and offbeat humor.

Accompanied onstage by musicians Erin Hill (harp/vocals) and Luke McCrosson (bass), Almond brings his journey to life with original songs that evoke his anxieties, hopes, and comic missteps, telling a humorous and profound story about fear and love.

Love at first sight is easy … letting it through the front door is an Odyssey.

“a testament to the power of musical storytelling” —TheaterMania

“A formally daring experiment in pared-down musical theater that connects with both mind and heart.” –-TheNew York Times

I'm Almost There was commissioned by Audible and first produced in Edinburgh and New York City by Audible, Francesca Moody Productions, and DryWrite.
