While they are connected thematically and all take place in the fictional small town of \u201cAlmost,\u201d the vignettes are also stand-alone stories. Joshua Houck, a junior secondary chemistry education major, commented on the structure of the play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy favorite aspect of \u2018Almost, Maine\u2019 is in the play\u2019s unique style,\u201d Houck said. \u201cNot many plays are set up as individual vignettes, so that immediately makes this play interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The large variety of characters has allowed for a sizable cast. The enthusiasm of the cast members is tangible as they put their emotions and thought into their roles and scenes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy character Jimmy and my scene in general have a lot of nuances that are not explicitly written,\u201d Houck said. \u201cI thoroughly enjoy the challenge of making these apparent to the audience through my performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlmost, Maine\u201d will run on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 at 8 p.m. with a 2 p.m. matinee on Feb. 2..<br \/>\n\u201cEveryone should come to see \u2018Almost, Maine\u2019 because this play has something everyone can relate to,\u201d Houck said. \u201cWhether it be love, laughter, or even sadness, this play allows us to experience a wave of emotions not always portrayed on stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Admission for LVC students is free. For LVC faculty and alumni, tickets are $8. For adults who reserved seats online, tickets are $15. With no reservation, adult admission is $12 at the door.
