and into the seats for 'Almost, Maine.' <EM> ... I absolutely loved this
latest offering by Schenectady Civic Players. . . . The production is
remarkable. Director (and lighting designer) Donald Mealy has assembled a
production staff whose talent is everywhere evident. . . the pleasure you will
have is the result of his vivid imagination and attention to detail . . . The 19
characters are played by only four performers -- but what performers! . . Got
cabin fever? Reconnect this week at Schenectady Civic
Players.</EM></FONT></FONT></STRONG><FONT size=3> </FONT></DIV>
