Director Cilluffo has assembled a talented cast of local actors including Jan Briggs, Paul MacKey, Phylicia Mason, Diane Moore, and Lauren N. Nile to bring Shelley Chester’s drama to life. Says Cilluffo: “I am so proud to have the opportunity to direct this original drama. It poses a few questions on the definition of what romantic love is, and when it does arrive, can we receive it. Fasten your seatbelts for this rollercoaster ride called love.”
