Love Song

By John Kolvenbach

In the Downstairs Theatre

Overview

Beane is invisible to his career-focused sister and her cynical husband. Beane’s life is a shrinking, darkening world...until Molly appears. When Beane discovers Molly, suddenly all of the love songs make sense. This off-beat romantic comedy is a world premiere work from hot young playwright John Kolvenbach, whose work has been produced from New York to London’s West End.
