Max Reimer: 
I'm Max Reimer and I'm the director of Halfway There.
This play takes place in a very small town right halfway between the North Pole and the equator and it gives us a sense of being part of a much bigger world.

Norm Foster writes as an everyman. We can always see something of ourselves and all of his characters and the situations and people have that that joyous feeling of being part of it. The audience and the actors resonate in all these circumstances and it's what makes people go that's me that's me or that's someone I know. 
Oddly enough and this will happen often in a comedy some of the the best scenes that land with me are the heartfelt ones. The ones where he touches on something actually quite serious uh especially that you wouldn't necessarily expect in a comedy. 
The scenes that I like the most I find the greatest are the ones that really land on why are we here and Norm's answers are always terrific this is really such a fabulous example of how theatre is universal and brings us together with these themes. 
This is why you've got to come you'll really have a good time and you'll feel connected.	ON SCREEN:
