Breakdown
SIRENS, Directed by John Gawlik:
A funny, romantic comedy! The hit of the 2010 Humana Festival of New American Plays, Sirens is a sweet look at keeping love alive with a touch of Greek mythology. Way back when, Sam wrote his one-hit-wonder"Rose Adelle" after the woman he loved. But 25 years later, as Sam and Rose celebrate their anniversary, he starts to hear a Siren's call. Will Sam jump overboard on their marriage? Will Rose keep the home fires burning, or turn to an old beau to while away the time? Laugh as these empty nesters brave the storm in search of their own happily ever after.
