THE STORY: Welcome to Almost, Maine, a place that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States. It’s almost in Canada. And it’s not quite a town, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it almost doesn’t exist. 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.

MONTHLY GATHERINGS

Picture
A tradition still upheld many decades later is the social aspect of the Ilion Little Theatre. While the organization continues to produce shows for the general public throughout the year, the organization's members meet once a month to socialize over a meal at the theatre.

Each gathering is held the third Thursday of the month (unless pre-empted by a scheduled performance), every month, from September through May.

General organization business is conducted during these meetings, but both current members and those interested in joining are invited to attend.

The next monthly gathering of the "Ilion Little Theatre" will be held Thursday, February 16th at 6:30 p.m. with a TRIVIA NIGHT! Join in on the fun as teams compete for points and a prize or two!

Dinner meetings / monthly gatherings are held at the theatre (also referred to as "The Stables"), located at 13 Remington Ave, behind Remington Arms.

Pizza will be provided, though those attending may feel free to bring something to share if they wish. BYOB your favorite beverage.

The date is subject to change.
