Marshall Fundamental Presents “Almost, Maine” by John Cariani
Marshall Fundamental proudly presents “Almost, Maine” by John Cariani. On a fateful, cold, moonless, winter night, the northern lights crowd the sky of the storybook town of Almost, Maine. Hilariously and unexpectedly, the townspeople find themselves falling in and out of love. Knees will be bruised and hearts will be broken. But, in this amusing winter night’s fantasy about romantic relationships, the bruises heal, and the hearts mend, well, almost.
