Auburn Area Community Theatre Performs "Almost, Maine"

A special Almost-Valentine’s Day offering from AACT! One clear cold night, 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. Welcome to Almost, Maine, a place that’s so far north its almost in Canada. And it’s not quite a town, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So, it almost doesn’t exist. Tonight, knees are bruised, hearts are broken. But bruises heal, and hearts mend (almost!) in this delightful midwinter night’s dream. This quirky collection of stories about love is consistently one of the most-produced plays in America. $10/adults, $8 Students and Seniors.
