Seeing The Thing

Trinity Theatre Company, a small theatre group out of San Diego, like all companies are doing their best to stay afloat in these unprecedented times. The Company has offered many streaming shows on Zoom. I even enjoyed a young actor’s version of “The Great Gatsby.” Looking forward to “Clue.” Every week Trinity presents a show. This week on Saturday the 19th at 7:00pm the will stream “Almost Maine.”

Nine vignettes melded into one. All the story take place in the cold dissolute place of Almost Maine. As far north as you can go without getting into Canada. Not a town because that would take someone to organize going through a process to become one. The show is nine couples on a Friday. Wacky, and a bit out there, it shows love comes in all forms.
