Perfect Love, a new solo show, opens Saturday, September 15th at 4:00 p.m. as part of the United Solo Theatre Festival.
Award-winning playwright and actor Linda Manning speaks out about her past -- her flamboyant absent father, her predatory stepfather, and her experiences with abuse and rape - and, in the wreckage, her search for perfect love. Heart-wrenching, hilarious and poignant, this is the story of the havoc her fantasy of perfect love wreaks on her adult life as she struggles to let it go and set herself free.
Directed by acclaimed theater artist Gretchen Cryer.
With original music by Jono Hill.
