Belleville, ON – The Albert College Drama Department has done it once again, with another triumph of romantic comedy. In the production of Love/Sick, John Cariani’s masterful dramatic writing skills come to life through the hard work of Leslie Austin, drama teacher and director, and the 17 dedicated student-actors from Belleville, Picton, the Quinte region and abroad. Come to Albert College this February 6, 7 and 8 for this hilariously dark, absurd and even emotional exploration of love and loss.
A review of Love/Sick by CTX Live Theatre asks, “When the heart begins to throb unexpectedly, are we able to respond? Are our affections real or are they shaped by society’s expectations? And what do we do when the thrill is gone?”
With 17 actors and 20 different diverse roles, audiences are bound to find someone to relate to. The show is full of imperfect lovers and dreamers, from an obsessive-impulsive couple to a man who can’t quite say “I love you,” from a woman who has a very… exciting lunch, to a couple who forgot to have the baby. Love/Sick is an unromantic comedy for the romantic in everyone.
RSVP for tickets at albertcollege.ca for Love/Sick on February 6, 7 and 8 at 7:00 p.m. Admission this year is free, and everyone in Belleville and beyond is invited to attend. In lieu of ticket sales, cash donations will be accepted on the performance evenings, which will be donated to Gleaners Food Bank. Albert College is located at 160 Dundas Street West.
