​This documentary theatre piece recounts the history of Japanese Americans forcibly removed from the West Coast, and incarcerated in concentration camps across the United States. Using the interviews, transcripts and testimonials of Japanese American and non-Japanese American women, real stories from World War II and its aftermath are recalled, including the “loyalty questionnaire” of the play’s title. 

The production will run for one weekend only on the Drury Stage of the Bartell Theatre, February 20th-22nd, 2020. 

All of the roles are historical figures. There is a main cast of 4 women; 3 who recreate Japanese American women of a variety of ages 20s-70s (named as “Tamlyn”, “Dian”, and “Emily” in the script) and 1 who recreates various Caucasian women 40s-70s (named as “Shannon” in the script). One additional performer may be cast for prerecorded segments. A small stipend is available for all performers.

Synopsis:
Almost, Maine is a fictional place in far northern Maine. The residents never got around to getting organized, so they are "Almost" a town. Nine vingnettes track residents as they experience falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways.  Knees are bruised.  Hearts are broken. But knees heal, and hearts mend - almost - under the sky lit by Northern lights. Witty, romantic, unsentimental.  There is no pretense.  The play offers a sweetness and decency ... and a welcome breath of fresh air.  All on a January winter's night.
