Love - 2023 Off-Broadway History , Info & More

This powerful piece of drama—written after a years-long process of community collaboration and immersion, personal interviews, and first-hand accounts—draws attention to the cracks in the welfare system when several families are brought together in a shelter in the lead up to Christmas. The audience is invited to step inside their reality and bear witness to some of the touching, humorous, and profoundly human instances of their combined

EDINBURGH 2023: Review: LOVE IS BLUE, C Arts
by Cindy Marcolina - Aug 11, 2023

EDINBURGH 2023: Review: I LOVE YOU, NOW WHAT?, Pleasance Courtyard
by Cindy Marcolina - Aug 10, 2023
