The following is a transcript of the video above:
Hillary Ma: Hi, I’m Hillary Ma.
Shannon Lee: And I’m Shannon Lee.
Hillary: This year’s fall play is set in Almost, Maine, a mythical town in northern Maine.
Kathleen Woods: Almost, Maine is modern. It’s contemporary and its a series of vignettes the play is basically about relationships, adult relationships, all the people in the play have at least graduated from high school some from college and it’s about love and trying to find love and keep love and the difficulties of relationships
Hannah Crown: The field of show it’s very intimate and because only two people or three people are on stage at once and it’s about intimate interactions and how real relations happen.
Emma Levine Sporer: A lot of the scenes are all about forgiveness. It gives off a good message of forgiving people.
Spector:Yeah. Well, anyways, thank you. Thank you for letting me stay. I’ve had a bad enough time of things lately not to be given a bad time here-
Max Grusky: It’s plain like a blue color. It’s nice and happy and there are bad parts but it all gets resolved and that’s really nice
Zoe Levine Sporer: It really shows you that there are many levels of love and that love isn’t always good and it’s not always bad. There’s flucuatoins you just have to work through it
Wilen: I don’t quite know what you’re doin’ or what you’re goin’ on about…but-what the heck is your problem?!? What the heck are you doin’?!? Jeezum Crow, you’re my best friend,>
Freier-Harrison: Yeah-
Wilen: and that’s-… That’s something you don’t mess with.
Grace Barry: I think the audience will really like it. I think that a lot of people can relate to a lot of the situations that are happening because it’s all about love and loss and life.
Sam Bellows: I love the play. The play, it’s just an amazing play. It’s one of the most heart-warming but one of the most heart breaking plays at the same time
Mortenson: Can I kiss you?
Hicks: No.
Hannah: We decided to put the audience a lot closer because if you have actors on stage playing out a real relationship and then you have the audience so far away, they won’t be able to tell as well. That’s why we put the audiece really close, to make it a more intimate setting and use the play to our own advantage so, because of that, we have a lot less seatingand there’s only going to be about 120 seats at the performance so people have to buy their tickets early.
Grace: You should come see it because there’s gonna be a moose head and that’s reason to see any show. But also, besides that, it’s really good. We’re all working really hard. It’s a really really great play and I think a lot of people can really like it and really appreciate it and relate to it. There’s gonna be like fake trees in the audience is what I heard. So, I mean a show with fake trees is really the place to be, I don’t know why you wouldn’t see that. It’s going to be very good. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished in this short period of time.
