The Burlington High School drama department finishes its 2014-15 slate of productions with “Almost, Maine” this Friday and Saturday.

Ticket cost is $5 for general admission seating, and both shows begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the door or through the BHS main office.

Director Carrie Fidler said students were exposed to the show during the 2013 one-act play season.

“(We) liked what we saw very much,” Fidler explained. She also said the show allowed for a fairly large cast, so as many students as possible could be involved.

Fidler said the show allows for a wide variety of strengths to be show by different students.

“It has been a very good fit for us,” she said.

“Almost, Maine,” features nine different stories about love and relationships shown through a series of vignettes.
