Not seen in L.A. for over 16 years, THE NORMAL HEART remains one of the theater's most powerful evenings ever.

We all pursue someone to love out of our fear of being alone in facing life and death, as once you fall in love, you're not alone any more. And in the pursuit of love, you may just find additional comfort in the company of your kin, whoever and wherever they may be when things go wrong as well as right. After all, a good shoulder to cry on or arms to hug you go a long way when heartbreak takes over your life.

What if you had a second chance to rekindle your first love? Surely most of us wonder what happened to the young man or woman who meant so much to us when we were too young to appreciate what losing that love might do to the rest of our lives.

Like Barbara Ehrenreich's book, Joan Holden's adaptation for the stage examines whether a middle-aged, middle-class woman named 'Barbara' can survive when she suddenly has to make beds all day in a hotel and live on $7 an hour.

It's a wonder that any modern relationships can survive the two-dimensional world of online dating. We have all known people who declared in all seriousness that they were in love with someone they met online but never in person.
