Almost Maine
Artwork created by Subplot Studio
Bobbie Olsen Series on the Waxlax Stage Presents:
Almost, Maine
by John Cariani
March 24 – April 12, 2026
On a cold and enchanted winter night, the people of the town of Almost experience the life-altering power of the human heart. Relationships end, begin, or change as strangers become friends, friends become lovers, and lovers turn into strangers. Propelled by the mystical energy of the aurora borealis and populated with characters who are humorous, plain-spoken, thoughtful, and sincere, John Cariani’s Almost, Maine is a series of loosely connected tales about love and longing, each with a compelling couple, and each with its own touch of magic.
