Desert Theatreworks presents the California premiere of the new romantic comedy FUNNY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE, at the Arthur Newman Theatre, in Palm Desert, beginning June 19, 2015.

This comedy, from the team of Jones Hope and Wooten, the writers of TV hits TEACHER'S PET and THE GOLDEN GIRLS, is all about romance. Under a full moon, these four rollicking tales take the audience on an around-the- globe journey of unexpected and hilarious twists and turns.

A slick used-car-selling Romeo in Dallas believes he's answering Cupid's call, only to realize too late that he's wandered into a life-changing trap set by three fed-up Juliets. On an island getaway, a group of fun-loving Georgia gals, say aloha to their wild sides as they accidentally crash a Hawaiian honeymoon in progress. In a rooftop London bistro, sparks fly when two strangers start to connect, only to be thwarted by a hyperactive American tourist. And finally, in Manhattan, a man tries to battle his way out of a mid-life crisis with an ill-advised and elaborate marriage proposal. This production features 11 performers who portray 28 different characters.
