We are so used to seeing the fun parts of relationships, the hardships, and the work required to have those fun times get ignored. We see couples on social media going on beautiful vacations and buying lavish presents. Kahl said, “I loved that the script was playful about the difficult and painful parts of courtship and love without shying away from the toughest parts of being in a romantic relationship.” In this day and age, the idea of love is heavily romanticized. It was important to Kahl to stay true to the theme of intimacy in the show, so it was postponed. He’s been waiting to direct the show since 2020, but due to Covid, he couldn’t. The show was directed by Andrew Kahl, the professor and chair of the Theatre Department. The show explores situations like difficulties saying “I love you”, long-distance relationships, and many more. All the relationships have comedic elements, but more importantly, they’re relatable. After that first scene, the audience is taken on a ride to explore the complexities of love. The actors Danielle Del Orfano and David Lesinski take the stage and display an impressive talent by doing the scene almost entirely in unison. The name of the first scene is shown on the screen, and it starts in the Supercenter. There’s also a screen that shows the title of the stories as they come on. Once you walk in, you see a paint-splattered-designed floor and pieces of a broken heart hung up to appear whole. One of the first things that stuck out to me was the set design. The stories have varying degrees of seriousness and comedy, but all maintain a good balance between the two regardless. It follows the stories of nine different relationships on a Friday night, the only string between all of them being a Supercenter. It’s a story that explores the happiness and heartache of relationships. Love/Sick is a play written by John Cariani and published in 2016. 9 at 7:30 PM Love/Sick, the first show of the spring semester, opened in the Hamblin theatre. ![]() It’s officially show season again in the Fine Arts building!
