Scotts Valley High Drama Presents “Almost, Maine”

Available Online Through March 7

Welcome to Almost, Maine, a place that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States. It’s 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.

One cold, clear, winter 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.

Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend — almost — in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.

The play, written by John Cariani, is presented online by Scotts Valley High Drama, directed by Kendra Kannegaard and Jack “Arizona” McHatton. They report the show was rehearsed and filmed following strict COVID safety guidelines and is “a true labor of love.”

Tickets are sold by household, $12 for a student and $15 general, so viewers are asked to buy one link per device. To purchase, see www.showtix4u.com/event-details/46024
