<DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3>The space utilized by Fourth Wall is marvelously versatile, allowing for varying configurations depending on the needs of the play being performed. In this case, David Allan's Just Shy of Closure is an intimate romantic comedy, so the audience placement consists of 48 seats. No matter where one sits, one can easily hear and see the emotions that register on the faces of the actors. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3>Fourth Wall's target audience is the young adult 18-35, although they'll happily entertain older adults as well. Anyone can appreciate good writing that utilizes snappy dialogue and interesting characters. And, almost anyone can relate to the 'one that got away' while in high school or college, or maybe even while younger than that. You can't help but wonder 'I wonder what he or she is doing now? Does he ever think of me?' </FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3>That was the genesis of Mr. Allan's script: running into an old flame the night before her wedding, and discovering that she'd wondered about him, as well. Briskly directed by Rebecca Cole, the action never flags in this one act (75 minute) play. Dash Combs is perfect as the slightly nerdy (on the surface) Ethan, whose life is suddenly interrupted by a phone call from Elizabeth, about whom he has dreamed since grade school. He's intelligent and perceptive, just shy, especially where she's concerned. He's hopeful, yet certain his hopes will be dashed once again. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3>In the meantime, he's started a somewhat risky venture at college, and his pal Kenny is the brawn that backs up Ethan's brains. Michael Fluellen never quite goes over the top in his portrayal. Although he does occasionally go right to the brink, he, too, has a soft underside that surprises even him when it appears. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3>Erin R. diLauro as Elizabeth is winsome and pretty, but not sure enough of herself as she tries to explain to Ethan just why she wants to meet him for a drink or something before she leaves again the next day for her new home – and soon to be new husband. She looks for encouragement from her best friend Becky, who is brought to vivid life by Carli Taylor Miluk. Her comic timing and quick change emotions are hilarious. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3>In the end, we don't always get what we want, unless we want the unexpected. A good life lesson for all of us. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3>Costumes by Kiera Mansell were entirely appropriate, as was the set and lighting of Justin Tatum as Technical Director. Matthew A. Sprosty kept things running smoothly as stage manager. </FONT></DIV>
