ALL MY LOVE Opening 3/22 at Theatre Building Chicago

Diamante Productions presents the world premiere of "All My Love," a comedy-drama about the perils and pitfalls of open relationships, written and directed by Artistic Director Tony Fiorentino.  "All My Love" is an exploration of alternative "lovestyles" and a critique of Western society's most cherished notions of monogamy, fidelity, and marriage. 

Ellen Fletcher, an award-winning sexologist and divorcée, decides to convert to "polyamory" in the wake of her marriage's downfall, hoping to eschew the complications of another exclusive relationship.  But when she becomes romantically involved with her divorce attorney, she finds that it's not that easy to practice what you preach.  As the doors of their relationship swing open, and her "primary" Jack begins to seek romantic opportunities of his own, Ellen finds herself threatened by the competition of a younger rival.  Meanwhile her teenage daughters search for the meaning of love through the prism of their mother's heterodox philosophy on relationships. 

"All My Love" is performed at the Theatre Building Chicago, South Theatre, and stars Bryan Breau (PJ), Arriane Ellison (Hallie), Tony Fiorentino (Jack), Megan Keach (Ellen) and Sarah Pitard (Abby). Diamante Artistic Director Tony Fiorentino is the playwright and director; Matt Arata is the lighting designer, and Kevin Bunch is theStage Manager.
