San Miguel August Playreaders – Two nights only

August Presents:  A  Love Song at the Santa Ana Theater

The Sixth Playreaders performance in our new venue of the Santa Ana Theater is the award-winning comedy by John Kolvenbach, “LOVE SONG”. “A Jungian comedy about how to find yourself, recreate, mutilate, and enrich yourself. Come out of your darkness, you’ll lose something but you’ll get a life.” said The London Sunday Times.

Our hero, Beane, played by Playreader’s newcomer Rex Waggoner, is an oddball. His well-meaning sister, Joan, played by another Playreader’s newcomer, but a veteran of the San Miguel stage, Carole Schor, and brother-in-law Harry, played by RD Hunting in his second outing on the Playreader stage, try and make time for Beane in their busy lives, but no one can get through. Following a burglary at Beane’s apartment, Joan is baffled to find her brother blissfully happy and tries to unravel the story behind his mysterious new love, Molly, played by another Playreader’s newcomer, Arden Trevino, who has appeared at the Playhouse.

Funny, enchanting and wonderful touching, John Kolvenbach’s offbeat comedy is a rhapsody to the power of love in all its forms.

“What should be treasured most about Kovenbach’s play, LOVE SONG… is the fact it is a work of, by and for the live stage. It is the stuff of pure theater. Love is a major element: married love, imagined love, desperate love, withered love, love as phantasm, love as sanity, love as self-knowledge, a gateway to the senses. LOVE SONG is about nothing less than the chaos of being human and the yearning for everything.” The Chicago Sun Times.

Directed by Frank Simons. Lights and sound by Miguel Torres.
