POTSDAM -- “Almost, Maine” will be presented by the Potsdam High School Drama Club Friday, March 17, and Saturday, March 18. Both shows will start at 7 p.m.

The performances will take place in the high school auditorium.

The play is based on the book “Almost, Maine” by John Cariani.

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.
