UNE's Add Verb Productions performance of 'You the Man' previewed by Hometown Newspapers

Hometown Newspapers (Newport, Maine) on March 7, 2012 featured a story on an upcoming theatrical performance of "You the Man" by UNE's Add Verb Productions on March 27th at Dexter Regional High School. Kris Hall, assistant director of the play, who was a 1987 graduate of DRHS, and Cathy Plourde, who wrote and directed the production, were interviewed about the performance.

The 30-minute, one-man play is “intended to help people not only recognize if a friend or family member is dealing with abuse or violence, but to know how best to support them,” said Plourde. Through the perspectives of five different men, the play “explores how difficult it can be to know what to do, but underscores that we must do something to help each other.”
