 Bobbie M. Dietrich Memorial Amphitheatre, Hohlt Park, Brenham, Texas
 Event Details

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.

Thursday (10/22) – Saturday (10/24): 7pm
Sunday (10/25): 5:30pm

Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for Seniors (65+), $6 for students, and $5 for kids under 12. Tickets available October 1st online at www.outofpocketbrenham.org or at the door the day of the event.
