Variations Theatre Group Presents Sam Shepard's FOOL FOR LOVE,2/23-27, 3/1-5

Artistic Director Rich Ferraioli of Variations Theatre Group decided to stage the gut wrenching 90 minute play FOOL FOR LOVE after realizing that Off-Off-Broadway Theatre 'needed a bit of an awakening'. The Sam Shepard classic, with its argumentative, ping pong style of dialogue and sexual tension so thick it makes you squirm, is the perfect choice for a cast and crew of talented, independent artists who are ready to prove they measure above typical Off-Off-Broadway standards. 'This play is to be performed relentlessly without a break', Shepard wrote. With a tight knit cast and dedicated crew, that is exactly what audience members will get.
