"The quartet of actors is excellent throughout."
"The cast is uniformly excellent, engaging as they address the audience and compelling with their interactions with each other."
"It's a delightfully loopy play...that feels like a darkly funny nursery rhyme for adults. All together, the production is an unqualified success and a whole lot of fun."
"A sensitive and touching story about the resiliency of the human spirit."
The Cast of The CockEyed Optimists inaugural production, Almost, MaineCockEyed Optimists strives to create theatre which examines the human condition in all of its complex absurdity.
Our optimism stems from the belief that the power of imagination and creativity can better a world too often full of cynicism and negativity.
We see ourselves as cockeyed because we are drawn to material that sees the world in an unpredictable light. We also seek to find the humor in life's struggles and laugh in the face of adversity.
These beliefs are at the core of who we are as an ensemble and as individual artists.
