Wilson Theater Company to Present "Almost Maine"

Join Wilson Theater Company on November 5, 6, & 7 for their first live stage production of the 2020-2021 season! 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. One 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. Extremely relevant for the time we are living in, this production will explore the question of "How do we make connection in a time where it seems close to impossible?" Ticket information can be found at this link.
