Review: CONSTELLATIONS at West End Players Guild is a Bittersweet Nugget of Relationship Reality
by James Lindhorst - Feb 15, 2025
West End Players Guild’s production of CONSTELLATIONS is a bittersweet dose of reality. It is a relationship story more than a love story. Payne examines how we react to two things in life, our partner’s behaviors and what the fates hand us. No one can predict when, or if, life will bring happiness, heartbreak, pain, or loss. Life must be lived and be experienced.
