Love/Sick
by Broke Thespian's Theatre Company
Nov. 21 - Nov. 22 (2022)
A darker cousin to Almost, Maine, John Cariani’s LOVE/SICK is a collection of nine slightly twisted and completely hilarious short plays. Set on a Friday night in an alternate suburban reality, this 80-minute romp explores the pain and the joy that comes with being in love. Full of imperfect lovers and dreamers, LOVE/SICK is an unromantic comedy for the romantic in everyone.
This production will be directed by Mitchell Oden and Leah Pullin.
