Jan. 31, 2008 -- The University of Wyoming Department of Theatre and Dance will present
the romantic comedy "Almost, Maine," Feb. 8-14 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 10, at
2 p.m. in the Fine Arts Center Studio Theatre.
Tickets cost $14 for the public, $11 for seniors (60 and older) and $7 for students.
The play, written by John Cariani, focuses on the pursuit of love or something like
it among the lonely inhabitants of a remote northern town in Maine's potato country.
Professor Leigh Selting directs the play.
Cariani, a Tony-nominated actor, is known for his work in "Fiddler on the Roof" and
on "Law & Order." The play originally debuted in 2004 and then became an off-Broadway
hit, receiving rave reviews for its offbeat and often poignant take on life and love
in a small town.
The play takes place in a fictional town in Maine where, in nine quirky vignettes,
the love-starved residents fall in and out of love in surprising and hilarious ways.
For tickets, call (307) 766-6666 or visit www.uwyo.edu/finearts.
