Almost, Maine
Nathan Hale Theatre | November 18 @ 2:00pm
Nathan Hale Theatre is excited to announce that this Fall we will be producing the play Almost, Maine written by John Cariani and directed by our drama teacher Ms. Hanna. Almost, Maine is a contemporary romantic comedy, with a dash of heartache.
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.

Our Most Recent Field Trip
DREAM! - 2023 Teen Summer Musical
Took place on August 27th
A spirited story about teens who are obsessed with making their most vivid imaginations come true while being stunted by the paralyzing commentary of a society that can’t see past the day-to-day reality. It’s a highly choreographed battle between dreams rising versus dreams deferred.
Written and directed by Isiah Anderson, Jr., this Broadway meets 90’s sitcom styled production is a challenge to conventional thinking that is elevated by the music of Cedric Paul Thomas and given wings by emerging choreographer Myke Hodges.
Check back for more information about our upcoming programs. Please email us with questions or inquiries.
