Love/Sick...Loved it!

October! Who ever would have thought it would sneak up this fast?!

Though I was sad to see September come to an end, Robert and I were privileged to witness a wonderful beginning on the last day of September. September 30th marked the opening night...the world premiere... of playwright John Cariani's new play, Love/Sick, presented at High Point University! Performed by students at HPU and directed by performing arts faculty member Jay Putnam, the offering proved to be an enjoyable evening in an intimate setting. Love/Sick is a collection of funny, but oddly true-to-life vignettes about love and relationships. Immediately accessible, it becomes obvious that John is holding a mirror up to the audience to look through and reflect upon what they see. Through laughter amid audience members, there were also sounds of realization, surprise and agreement that spoke to the level of engagement in the room. I found myself whispering to Robert at times, and Robert cracking jokes about the characters in the play being very much like "someone he knows." What really made the evening was the obvious commitment of the actors. Their timing was spot-on, their on-stage relationships were dynamic and their transitions were seamless! The play will continue through two weekends, and I must say, I might just go see it one more time before it closes!
