Featured Production

Almost, Maine

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.

Almost, Maine is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French Inc.

Why

“Out of Pocket Theatre?”

“The name ‘Out of Pocket Theatre’ comes from where we started — creating art from whatever we had on hand, often out of our own pockets. It reminds us that great theatre doesn’t need grand budgets, just heart, imagination, and a community willing to play.”
