Evie Malone-gamer girl, college senior and confirmed virgin-has it all figured out. Not only does she command a top-ranked guild in Warcraft with her online boyfriend, she also makes a little cash on the side writing love letters for people who've screwed up their relationships. Love is like Warcraft, after all. It's all about strategies, game plans, and not taking stupid risks. But no amount of gaming expertise can help her out when she's next to a handsome, non-virtual, boyfriend, who is ready to rock all of her worlds.
In Love and Warcraft will perform at Halcyon Theatre, in-residence at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, 3253 W. Wilson Ave. in Chicago (For performances, use the side entrance at 4541 Spaulding Ave.) More information may be found at halcyontheatre.org/warcraft.
