Overview

How do we know when we’ve found that perfect person to love — the one we can truly connect with — especially when we’ve had more than our share of failed relationships? Frankie and Johnny are forced to tackle this question as they wind down from a successful first date. Over the course of a one-night stand, the pair explore every “what if” through laughter, tears and that terrifying question: Is this our chance for more?

For their senior thesis Ron Weiss directs the critically acclaimed 1987 romance by the legendary, multi-award-winning playwright Terrence McNally. This wonderful, vibrant mix of passion and hilarity makes for a perfect date night during this Valentine’s Day week. Underscored by “the most beautiful music ever written,” in the titular work by Debussy, this evergreen play shows that love never gets old. (Content warning: For mature audiences.)
