Love's Prick

- June 15, 16, 18, 22, & 23, 2007 at 7:30pm

- at the Center for Independent Artists

- A semi-staged workshop production presented in partnership with Outward Spiral Theatre Company.

"He that sweetest rose will find, must find love's prick and Rosalind."

"Love's Prick" is a modern day riff on the love, gender confusion and other themes of Shakespeare's romantic comedy "As You Like It."

Several ages of love and infatuation cross in a coffeehouse known as "The Forest."

- a high school girl masquerades as a boy, fielding romantic interests both gay and straight

- two college wrestlers and the student editor of the campus literary magazine struggle with a complicated love triangle and a mysterious online poet

- a transgender minister finds the possibility of companionship with a local police officer.

Directed by Todd Hughes

Featuring - Delta Giordano, Grant Henderson, William Leaf, Mark Mattison, Dan O'Neil, Michael Ooms, Nathan Surprenant, Renee Werbowski, Laura Wiebers
