Diamante Productions Presents ALL MY LOVE, Premieres 3/22
Diamante Productions presents All My Love, a new theatrical presentation about the perils and pitfalls of open romantic relationships, written by and starring Artistic Director Tony Fiorentino. All My Love is a smart, fun and thoughtful look into the world of polyamory and is the fifth production presented by Diamante Productions. All My Love makes its world premiere Sunday, March 22 at 3:30 p.m. at the Theatre Building Chicago, 1225 W. Belmont Ave., and runs through Sunday, May 10. Performances are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3:30 p.m. Previews for All My Love are Thursday, March 19 - Saturday, March 21 at 8 p.m.
The cast of All My Love, directed by Braden Lubell, includes Fiorentino as Jack, Megan Keach as Ellen, Bridgette Pechman as Abby, Megan Gotz as Lynn, Bryan Breau as PJ, Arianne Ellison as Hallie and Walter Bezt as Myles.
The play follows middle-aged divorcée Ellen, as she explores the world of open relationships. While juggling multiple men, she must temper the jealous passions of her primary lover, Jack, while teaching her twin daughters, Abby and Lynn, the meaning of love through the prism of polyamory. The play takes an interesting turn when Jake decides to seek his own romantic opportunities within their alternative lifestyle, threatening Ellen with the competition of a younger rival. All My Love is a critique of Western society's most cherished notions of love, monogamy, and marriage.Fiorentino founded Diamante Productions in 2005, a non-profit theatre company, dedicated to the production and development of new plays. Since then, Diamante Productions has presented the world premieres of four of Fiorentino's plays, Lease on Love (Chicago, 2006), Cold Cold Feet (Chicago, 2006), Fraternal Instinct (Chicago, 2007) and My Dinner with Amy (New York and Chicago, 2008). Originally trained in the performing arts, Fiorentino has also appeared in Chicago onstage in many roles including 2005's Chicago Shakespeare Theatre's production of Romeo and Juliet under the direction of Mark Lamos, the 2005 world premiere of his romantic comedy Lease on Love, 2008's Midwest premiere of My Dinner with Amy and several productions at the Attic Playhouse in Highwood.1225 W.
