Winchester High School

Winchester High School will present Almost, Maine, a romantic comedy by playwright John Cariani, with performances scheduled for Friday, November 13, Saturday, November 14, and Sunday, November 15, 2026. Tickets will be available at the door. Set in the fictional town of Almost, Maine, a place so small it doesn't quite appear on the map, the play follows a collection of residents navigating the unpredictable nature of love. Through nine interconnected scenes, audiences encounter moments of romance, heartbreak, humor, and unexpected discovery, all unfolding beneath the stars on a cold winter evening. Blending everyday experiences with touches of magical realism, Almost, Maine explores the universal joys and challenges of human relationships. From new connections and second chances to misunderstandings and missed opportunities, the production offers a series of stories that are equally funny, touching, and thought-provoking. The Winchester High School production brings these characters and their stories to life through the talents of its student cast and production team, offering the community an opportunity to celebrate local theater and support the next generation of performers. Directed by WHS senior Maya Spencer. Performances will be Friday, November 13, Saturday, November 14, and Sunday, November 15, 2026. Tickets will be available at the door

<h4>Americana. Thought-provoking. Joyful. From the heart.</h4>
<h1>Friday, November 13, 7:30 p.m.,</h1>
From the stunning Ripley Chapel. Live in person and live streamed.
<h3>Ripley Presents is pleased to welcome Lisa Bastoni with Sean Staples.</h3>
<blockquote><h3>Americana of the highest order, along the lines of Patty Griffin or Gretchen Peters —Maverick UK</h3></blockquote>
Lisa Bastoni (Northampton, MA) is a 2022 &amp; 2023 New England Music Award nominee (Roots), 2020 ; 2019 Boston Music Award Nominee (Folk) and winner of 2019 New Folk at the esteemed Kerrville Folk Festival.
Lisa Bastoni’s most recent album, “On The Water”, was produced by Sean Staples, and recorded live over the course of three days at Zachariah Hickman’s Greedy Beast Studios in Watertown MA. The album features Sean Staples, Rich Hinman, James Rohr, and Chris Anzalone, with special guest vocalists Mark Erelli, Kris Delmhorst, and Rose Cousins. “On The Water” is Bastoni’s first full-length release since 2019’s How We Want to Live.
<blockquote>“The songs are beautifully played and consistently interesting, they are reflective and melancholic in places, but the overall feeling is one of expectation and contentment.” —Rick Thorn, Americana UK Review</blockquote>
Lisa has opened for/performed with Lori McKenna, Dar Williams, Regina Spektor, The Secret Sisters, Teddy Thompson, Rose Cousins, Mark Erelli, Larry Campbell &amp; Teresa Williams, and many more.
<blockquote>“Let’s just say what we’re all thinking: New England, and especially Massachusetts, is a stronghold of singer-songwriters who excel at writing top-notch songs that make you swallow hard and wonder why your eyes are damp…Northampton singer Lisa Bastoni ranks among the best of them.” —Freak Scene review, 2024</blockquote>
