The Love Edition 8: Save the Date

THE LOVE EDITION 8: SAVE THE DATE

Jo and Rita are getting married for all the right reasons: Love, Commitment, and Saving The Theater. The timing couldn’t be more perfect, as government funding runs dry and Rita steps into her new role as the company’s Artistic Director. So, why not plan a wedding-slash-fundraiser? Especially after an RSVP from a potential big donor and former-company-member-turned-Hollywood-heartthrob. But confidence in the couple’s heroic matrimony quickly fades after the parents’ disapproval of their not-so-holy venue, the return of Jo’s other-other theater ex and– not one, but TWO runaway wedding rings! Without an angel donor at the wings, all hope may be lost for Rita, Jo, and the theater. Will the wedding go on? Or will they be forced to close the curtains for good?
