Almost, Maine is a remote little town somewhere in northern Maine. Here, if you don’t know someone, you do know someone who does. Sound familiar?
The Actor’s Theater of Orcas Island holiday show, Almost, Maine, is a tale of what goes on in a small town one midwinter night when the Northern Lights appear, having surprising and magical effects on its residents.
Love appears, slumbers, blooms and ignites.

The cast includes: Aaimee Johnson, Akarya, Audra Goffeney, Brian Richard, Cara Russell, Freddy Hinkle, Kelly Toombs, Katie Zwilling, Kevin Doyle, Kira Bradshaw, Lauren Ferrell, Mike Buckner, Rebecca Herman, Ron Herman, Sky Bear Aguilar, Suzanne Gropper, Tom Fiscus, Tom Gossett, and Tony Lee.
