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. 

Subtext Dinner Theater Company, founded by Marshall Lee Smith Junior, is excited to have you join Alpharetta’s First Immersive Theater Experience. Subtext was birthed from an idea to create an unique interaction where actors and audience members could be infused into the theatrical magic of a show without the standard boundaries of a stage or set. Subtext is geared towards creating a memorable night of love, laughter and great food.
