Boerne Community Theatre presents “Almost, Maine,” by John Cariani, directed by Dara Hinshaw, and co-produced by Suzann Woodward, CPA through July 23.
“Welcome to Almost, Maine, a place that is so far north that it is almost not in the United States. In fact, it is almost in Canada. And it is not quite a town, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So, it almost does not exist.
“One cold, clear, winter night, as the northern lights hover in the starfilled 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.”
The Boerne Community Theatre is located at 907 E. Blanco Road in Boerne. For more, call 830-249-9166, or go to: www.boernetheatre.org.
Hill Country Arts Foundation invites you to “The Last Round Up of the Guacamole Queens,” by Jesse Jones, Nicolas Hope, and Jamie Wooten, which runs through July 29.
In this deliciously funny Southern fried comedy, the Verdeen cousins of Sweetgum, Texas Gaynelle, Peaches, and Jimmie Wyvette -- are against the clock as they frantically attempt to produce the ultimate high school reunion before the old building is demolished. But they have a bushel of obstacles to overcome before they can pull off this miracle.
Gaynelle is reeling from the humiliating demise of her loathed ex-husband; Peaches’ romantic life has tanked because the older her dates get, the more horrified they are by her job as a mortuarial cosmetologist; and Jimmie Wynette is trying to live down her on-camera catfight with a local televangelist.
To top it all off, the cousins have got to impress a governor’s aide with their party- planning capabilities, so they can nab the plum job of throwing the governor’s birthday bash -- and keep their business afloat.
