SUMMARY:Almost\, Maine
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Almost\, Maine\, a town that’s so far north\, it’s almost not in the United States—it’s almost in Canada. And it almost doesn’t exist. Because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it’s just…Almost. \n\n\n\nOne cold\, clear Friday night in the middle of winter\, while the northern lights hover in the sky above\, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in the strangest ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. Love is lost\, found\, and confounded. And life for the people of Almost\, Maine will never be the same. \n\n\n\nAlmost\, Maine: It’s love. But not quite.  \n\n\n\nShow dates for Almost\, Maine are as follows: \n\n\n\nThursday\, April 3\, 2025 • 7:30 PM \n\n\n\nFriday\, April 4\, 2025 • 7:30 PM \n\n\n\nSaturday\, April 5\, 2025 • 7:30 PM \n\n\n\nSunday\, April 6\, 2025 • 2:00 PM \n\n\n\nFriday\, April 11\, 2025 • 7:30 PM \n\n\n\nSaturday\, April 12\, 2025 • 7:30 PM \n\n\n\nSunday\, April 13\, 2025 • 2:00 PM \n\n\n\nTickets can be purchased here or by calling the Stage Coach Players box office at 815-758-1940.
