Arts Garage Kicks Off Theatre Season with MYSTERY OF LOVE AND SEX

Arts Garage's first play of the season puts a new spin on family drama bringing together a collection of characters rarely combined before. The story introduces us to Charlotte, who is now in college, and whose relationship with her childhood best friend is raising red flags with her parents. She's Jewish, he's black. So her parents have to scramble to keep up as Charlotte and Jonny's sexual desires complicate everyone's relationships in surprising, compulsive ways.

"This play has tremendous cross generational appeal and takes place over a period of five years," explained Genie Croft, the show's director. "What I love about this play are all the emotions. While it is a comedy, it points out our own foibles and hypocrisies."

Genie Croft who gained rave reviews for her directing last year's critically acclaimed productions, Sex with Strangers and The Devil's Music, The Life and Blues of Bessie Smith is thrilled to direct Doran's latest work.

"This play brilliantly captures a young person's journey of self-discovery and the effect it has on those closest to her," says Croft. "Audiences of all ages will relate to the characters as they tackle these always evolving mysteries."

The New York Times called it "a ... a perfectly wonderful new play...a tender and funny exploration of the lives of two couples from two generations....so packed with humanity that it seems infinitely larger, like a chart depicting the sexual and emotional anatomy of us all."

And continued, "Ms. Doran's beautifully wise play affirms the adage that the only guarantee in life is permanent change."

Ms. Doran is also known for her work as a writer and co-producer of Showtime's, "The Master of Sex" and as a writer of HBO's "Boardwalk Empire."

Featuring: Wayne Legette, Janice Hamilton, Jovon Jacobs, and Connie Fernandez , who last dazzled Arts Garage audiences in Smoke.)
