THIBODAUX — Ӱɴý’s acting troupe, the Ӱɴý Players, will perform the romantic comedy “Almost, Maine” during Homecoming Week. Written by John Cariani and directed by Ӱɴý speech instructor Anna Broussard, the play is a series of nine vignettes about couples living in the mythical Maine town of Almost.
“This is a fun, light-hearted show about small-town people falling in and out of love in the dead of winter,” Broussard said. “I chose this off-Broadway play because I want people to know that theater doesn’t have to be political or serious. ‘Almost, Maine’ still has a message and says a lot of sweet things about love, but audiences should come prepared to laugh.”
“Almost, Maine,” which features a cast of 12 Ӱɴý students, is appropriate for all ages. Performances will be held in the Mary M. Danos Theater in Talbot Hall at 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, Oct. 11–13, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 14. Tickets are $10 for general admission and $5 for students with Ӱɴý ID cards, and they may be purchased at the door or in advance by calling 985-448-4586.
