In Love Child, it’s opening night. The cast is unruly, the crowd is restless, and the play is obscure, but Joel has a larger worry: his mother is in the front row. Real and theatrical worlds collide in this new comedy about the night a classic play spoke so loudly to its audience that they felt compelled to talk back. Daniel Jenkins and Robert Stanton take you on a wild ride when they portray everyone on stage, backstage and in the house, all coming together on one riotous night in the theatre. “A rollicking two-hander where half the fun is seeing if you can keep up,” raved the New York Times. While the Associated Press added, “One of the funniest plays about a play that you will see. Both actors display an endless supply of comedic flair.”

Tay's Gourmet Superfood Granola introduces their all-natural, non-GMO health food to Walmart stores across the country this month. As families and shoppers seek more natural and nutritional food options from the retail giant, Tay's Gourmet becomes the newest health food company to partner with Walmart and hit the shelves.
'Finding healthy food your family will love doesn't need to be difficult or expensive anymore. I'm excited to bring my hand-crafted superfood granola to families across the US, and partnering with Walmart means people will be able to find great food options in their neighborhood.' says founder and CEO Tamara Hilliard.
Tamara Hilliard started making Tay's Gourmet Superfood Granola in her home in early 2009, as a healthy breakfast and snack food for her family. The former Miss Texas winner understood the value of keeping delicious and nutritious snacks around her house instead of unhealthy junk-food options.
'It all started with a week-long yoga intensive workshop, where I fell in love with a mix of roasted nuts, seeds and grains,' Tamara explains. Upon returning home she turned her newfound passion into a business and started making a unique blend of granola packed with nuts, oats, fruit, seeds and berries.
Expanding their distribution doesn't mean Tay's Gourmet will change their small-batch manufacturing or hand-crafted process. Tamara states she will keep the same attention to detail and high-quality ingredients that made her a national sensation.
'Every bag contains all-natural, non-GMO, nutritional superfoods without any additional fillers or extra sugar. Packed full of fruits, nuts and seeds, each one of our four flavors are high in healthy omegas and have zero cholesterol or trans fats. You'll love putting Tay's Gourmet on everything from yogurt, cookies, waffles, smoothies or just eat it by itself,' Tamara adds.
Tay's Gourmet is also a proud partner with Children's Hunger Fund, and provides a meal to a child in crisis for every bag sold.
'Every time you purchase any bag of Tay's Gourmet Superfood Granola, you will be sending a nutritious meal to a hungry child in need,' Tamara explains. 'I am passionate about fighting hunger and delivering hope to children in need across the world.'

Marie Barrientos and I were in a relationship when we started righting Love Struck. The story developed as the relationship grew. It was wonderful team work, what Marie and I had back then. We still do actually. Just last night, Marie and I were discussing other possible re-writes. This play is like our child that we nurture and guide to be better and better each time. The opportunity to enhance the play with new ideas makes my directing it fresh and fun! (I speak for myself of course.) I've added media to the play and I've re-blocked it. I'm using the back scrim throughout the play as a gauze that separates the two characters. This time around we have a beautiful new set as well, and new lighting. The two actresses that I'm directing, Ivet Corvea as Rachel and Lola Anthony as Laura, fell in love with the script and are thrilled to be doing it.
