But he has changed, he is engaged to settle down with a respectable, younger girl, and as he tries to convince Alma that what they had between them was indeed a "spiritual bond", she realizes, in any event, that it is too late.</span></p><p style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 6pt 0in; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: American Typewriter, serif; color: rgb(32, 33, 34);">In the final scene, Alma accosts a young traveling salesman at dusk in the town park, and as the curtain falls, she follows him to enjoy the "after-dark entertainment" at Moon Lake Casino, where she had resisted Buchanan's attempt to seduce her there the previous summer.</span></p><p class="ydp8e3bc75aMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><b><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: American Typewriter, serif; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"> </span></b></p><p class="ydp8e3bc75aMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: American Typewriter, serif; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">VOICE THEATRE BRIEF HISTORY:</span></b><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: American Typewriter, serif;"></span></p><p class="ydp8e3bc75aMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: American Typewriter, serif;">Started in Paris in 1988 with initial funding from the French Government, Voice Theatre moved to New York City in 1989.
