Find Romance In “Almost, Maine”

Celebrate love this February and join the cast of Encore Center in their community production of Almost, Maine. A fine blend of emerging artists and professional actors leads to unique, quality productions right at home in the Sandhills.

Almost, Maine is a play comprised of nine short stories that delve into love and loss in the small, remote “almost-town” of Almost, Maine. The characters within the stories find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. The narratives are filled with humor, romance, and heartbreak, with a love story for every walk of life.

“Any audience member can watch this show and see a character that reminds them of themselves,” said Artistic Director Greta Zandstra. “We chose it for Valentine’s day because it’s a collection of love stories that almost anyone can relate to.”

Almost, Maine will be the third show put on by Encore Center, having been preceded by Sleepy Hollow in the fall and A Christmas Carol over the holidays. Encore Center will be wrapping up their first season in April with a performance of A Little Princess, once again featuring emerging talent and regional stars of all ages.
