Love Is Dead!

See it if you appreciate the absurdity of love, and if you like a troupe and theater that are in your face, and will even offer you a big beer.

Don't see it if you want a big lavish musical, or don't like leaving Manhattan Island.

See it if Dark yet Funny is your taste. 3 one-acts that are interconnected.

Don't see it if You're upset by gun violence, stage blood, Sexual situations, and some off color language.

Also A very dark but quirky and so funny in an "Oh no, they didn't" kinda way. Terrific ensemble piece with good acting from most everyone. A standout performance by Ashton Foster who is outrageously Funny. I hope to see her in her future roles. The show was 3 interconnected 1-act plays and runs 90 minutes with no intermission. The time whizzed by. It starts out a bit slow, the first piece is by far the weakest but it builds up a head of steam and barrels right on through to the finish. The theatre is located next door to the actual address of the building. There are unfortunately no lighted signs or other attention getting icons that let you know the theatre is behind a chain link gate. The entrance is a bit foreboding but the theatre space is very nice.... Read more Read less

Also I want to like it more than I did - it felt like it was trying just a little too hard to be dark. That said, the third act was absolutely wonderful, easily my favorite part, and the actress who leads the scene does an excellent job.... Read more Read less

Also Ashton Foster stood out, her portrayel of Nancy was thoroughly entertaining and left me yearning for more. Her chemistry with the also very talented Brian Patrick Sherrer had shades of the Joker and Harley Quinn. Hannah Jane Mcmurray's performance in the final act grounds the play back into reality and was mesmerizing to watch.... Read more Read less
