LOVE INSURANCE To Make World Premiere At Theater For The New City's Dream Up Festival
The production is directed by Brooke Tyler Benson, written by Rita Mercury, and stars Rita Mercury and Johnny Capuano.
Can love be insured? Love Insurance, a new English-language play written by Rita Mercury, will make its World Premiere as part of the Dream Up Festival at Theater for the New City.
If we insure our homes, cars, and health, why can't we insure our hearts?
Love Insurance brings together two people from different cultures and with very different ideas about love, relationships, and life. Through humor, emotional honesty, and cultural contrasts, the play explores vulnerability, trust, and what happens when our attempts to protect ourselves from heartbreak begin to stand in the way of real connection.
The production is directed by Brooke Tyler Benson, written by Rita Mercury, and stars Rita Mercury and Johnny Capuano.
The creative team includes Assistant Producer Dena Chen and Stage Manager Lori Newsom.
Love Insurance is presented as part of the Dream Up Festival at Theater for the New City.
