Introducing the CHS Spring Play.... "Almost, Maine" by John Cariani! The CHS Drama Club will bring two performances to the stage on May 10th and 11th, and admission will be free.
Synopsis: 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.
Auditions will be held in March after the musical wraps up, with rehearsals commencing shortly after. If your CHS student has questions about the production, they can contact Stephanie Heath to learn more.
