Definitions: A Play on Love.
"Definitions: a play on love", is an incredibly collaborative show  show featuring six one act plays. Although each play deal in the contructs of love, each operates in a different genre of theatre. Join us as we show all the many shades of "love" when applied to satirical text, theatre of the absurd, or dramatic play. We can't guarantee that each production will provide concrete answers, but they will certainly pose questions!


Show Dates:

Saturday, December 5th @ 9:30pm
Sunday, December 6th @ 2:30pm
Sunday, December 6th @7pm


Sure Thing by David Ives, directed by Aubrey Lace Taylor
Sure Thing is a short SATIRICAL play by David Ives featuring a chance meeting of two characters, Betty and Bill, whose conversation is continually reset by the use of a ringing bell, starting over when one of them responds negatively to the other.
Our team has broken up the original text, allowing SIX characters to share the dialogue. The concept is designed to illustrate how our subconscious thoughts and every day conversation is shared or manipulated by the people around us.


Fistfight with God, directed by Matthew Ip Shaw
Fistfight with God is a product of THEATRE OF THE ABSURD. In this short One Act a young couple meets, falls in love, gets married, questions their sexuality, and deals with infidelity- all in the matter  of a 10 minute airplane ride.


Miss You by David Auburn, directed by Aubrey Lace Taylor
Miss You, directed into the world of FARCE, explores triangular relationships among four people as they exploit the comic possibilities of telephone hold buttons and express there private frustrations about not being heard.

Southern Discretion by Lucas Womack, directed by Jack Haley
Southern Discretion, DRAMA, puts a magnifying glass on the dating in this day and age. Two men meeting in a hotel for sex exposes the intentionally ambiguous (and umbrella definitions) of the hook-up culture. Y'all GET VULNERABLE NOW!


Alone at Last by Gina Barnett (rewrite by Sebestian Stimman), directed by Sebestian Stimman
Alone at Last, DARK COMEDY, highlights an unforgettable evening for a young couple whose attempt to make love for the first time is impeded by memories of advice from parents, friends and an enthusiastic sex therapist. As the pair are tries to consummate their desires, these burdensome caricatures of their subconscious step in to offer encouragement, admonitions, lamentations and critiques of technique.

Post-Its by Winnie Holzman and Paul Dooley, directed by Andrew Blair
In this homage to "Love Letters", a man and a woman read the Post-it Notes that span the duration of their lives together. From their young, vibrant days to becoming an elderly couple. From the therapy sessions, babies and mother-in-laws to 'we need milk', 'home late' and 'I'm sorry's'. He needs Viagra. She just wants a really big zucchini. Post-its explores the ups and downs of a relationship that were unexpectedly captured on scraps of paper.
