Shelton State Community College Presents Almost, Maine (A Love Story, Kind Of)

April 1, 2019 – Shelton State Community College presents Almost, Maine April 11-14, 2019, in the Alabama Power Recital Hall (off the lobby of the Bean-Brown Theatre) located at 9500 Old Greensboro Road.

Almost, Maine is a series of eight short scenes about love, loss, and communication, set in a mythical town in the northernmost part of Maine. As the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, the residents of Almost, Maine, find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. Knees are bruised and hearts are broken, but both mend, almost, in this midwinter night’s dream.

Michael Carr, director, said, “Almost, Maine is a highly relatable play about being in love, having that love thrown in a blender, and putting back the pieces in a way that was even better than before.”
