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.
