Today, Green Thumb Theater presented People Like Vince. This presentation discussed how a ten year old girl, Myrtle is having a hard time making friends at her new school. Then, her Uncle Vince shows up in town and she finally feels like she has someone who understands her and with whom she can really be herself. Her friendship with her Uncle Vince becomes the closest and most important relationship in her life but sometimes his behaviour confuses her and even causes the other kids at school make fun of her. When Uncle Vince suddenly stops coming to see her, Myrtle learns how to deal with and accept his lifelong struggle with mental illness. Written specifically so younger youth can understand and relate, People Like Vince is a light-hearted, sensitive and compassionate look at a serious subject that affects us all.
