We aren’t close to Maine, but the upcoming show on the University of Wisconsin-Superior campus is called Almost Maine. The well-known romantic comedy is making its debut on campus during the spring semester, and it’s being directed by someone who has directed on campus before.
Joshua Porter, Admissions and Recruitment Coordinator II at UWS, graduated in the fall of 2023 and is more than excited to be directing the upcoming show. Although it’s not the first show that he has directed, it will be his first as an alumnus. This will be his fifth show overall, as he has also done two shows at Cloquet High School. It’s a special moment for Porter directing his former colleagues as an alumnus.
“It’s really nice to come back and see all the people I’ve worked with before, but in a different setting, and getting an opportunity to help them grow in their careers,” says Porter.
People have different opinions on shows and try to figure out what makes a show stand out. This show is a romantic comedy, and Porter is excited for it to begin.
“It’s kind of like a rom-com TV show, but it’s set to the stage,” said Porter. “You have an opportunity to experience live rom-com, and I know a lot of people like to see romcoms.”
