The Wild Project Theatre Presents THE LOVE SONG OF SIDNEY J. STEIN, 7/12-14

A former male prostitute tries to guide a troubled young streetwalker in The Love Song of Sidney J. Stein, a comedy/drama about trust, honesty, and second chances. Written and directed by Brian C. Petti, The Love Song of Sidney J. Stein will begin performances on July 12th at the The Wild Project, located at 195 East 3rd Street on the Lower East Side, as part of the Fresh Fruit Festival. Members of the press are invited to review any performance. Tickets are $18.00 and will be sold online via OvationTix.com.

The Love Song of Sidney J. Stein follows the relationship of titular Sidney, a 45-year-old former prostitute working at an NYC half-way house, and Dennis, an 17-year-old streetwalker. Sidney, snide,funny and guarded, tries to set Dennis straight despite Dennis' immaturity and indoctrination into the street life. They begin tenuously living together, though Dennis is not quite willing to give up his past. Both end up bringing out something in the other that is revealing and unexpected.

With humor and pathos, Love Song explores the struggle to truly connect with another human
being, and the role one's past plays in dictating one's future.
