""I have now seen it twice and it was fabulous both times. Love is messy, and that came through in so many fun ways! This acting trio is really effective, taking you through all of the genuine ups and downs of important relationships.

This is my fourth Theater Nova experience and be back again soon…" -Ben Bohnsack
