The Hastings College Theatre Department starts off the 2017-18 season with its production of “Love/Sick” by John Cariani. The unique production consists of nine short plays that explores the emotional roller coaster that comes with being in love.
The show will run in Scott Studio Theatre (806. N Turner Ave.) October 5-7 at 7:30 p.m. and October 8 at 2:00 p.m. General admission tickets are $8, and $5 for non-Hastings College students and seniors. Tickets are free to Hastings College students, faculty and staff. Reservations can be made in advance at tickets@hastings.edu.
Set on a Friday night in an alternate suburban reality, “Love/Sick” is an 80-minute romp that explores the pain and the joy that comes with being in love. Full of imperfect lovers and dreamers, “Love/Sick” is an unromantic comedy for the romantic in everyone. The show does contain mature subject matter.
