Starting their 50th year with a new director, the SMNW theatre department will be bringing in a whole new vision to their season.

The stories are not intertwined, but each one brings their own fresh and interesting characters and new stories to the table. Though this show takes place in wintery Maine, your heart will be anything but frozen.

“Almost, Maine” was put on under the direction of Jason Coats. This show is produced through a special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service.
