Bartlett Theatre Group presents ALMOST, MAINE – Feb 16, 17, 18

Bartlett Theatre Group presents ALMOST, MAINE, a real romantic comedy set to contemporary music. POSTER

Welcome to Almost, Maine, a town that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States—it’s almost in Canada. And it almost doesn’t exist. Because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it’s just…Almost.

One cold, clear Friday night in the middle of winter, while the northern lights hover in the sky above, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in the strangest ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. Love is lost, found, and confounded. And life for the people of Almost, Maine will never be the same.

ALMOST, MAINE: It’s love. But not quite.

We are also excited to provide you with a preview of the show through a student created trailer for the play which is set to student created music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPC_ZdM0tQE

Polar Plunge for Swim Intensive

Steller’s swim intensive has a team for the Polar Plunge that can be located on the Polar Plunge Special Olympics website, Freezing for a Reason.  Swim intensive members chose the team name, Steller Sea Lions.   I, Becky Gerik, am the captain.   Look us up if you want to join the team or donate to a student.  The penny drive has raised over $100 dollars for this cause.  That seed money will be used for a breakfast during intensives for $4 a plate to feed students and staff and raise money to sponsor several of our kids.  Exciting times ahead!
