A Bittersweet ‘Lovesong’ Worth Hearing From Thinking Cap Theatre
No less impactful for its understated nature, Thinking Cap Theatre’s current production of playwright Abi Morgan’s Lovesong is a beautifully bittersweet journey through one heterosexual couple’s 40 year marriage. Somewhat more down-to-earth than some of the company’s more experimental ventures, the play features the aforementioned couple as the only onstage characters. But, adding a stirring spark to what would otherwise be a fairly conventional domestic drama, the play intersperses scenes of the couple in their youth with snapshots of them in their old-age.

In The Pompano Players’ ‘Love, Loss, and What I Wore,’ Every Closet Tells a Story
A person’s wardrobe can evoke just as many memories as their camera roll or scrapbook can. My own closet still boasts the cozy zip-up hoodie I gave my bat mitzvah guests as a party favor, the classic floor-length black dress I wore to my senior prom, and the chunky orange-and-green beads my university handed out at graduation. Love, Loss, and What I Wore takes this idea of one’s closet being a time capsule and brings it to life onstage, kicking off the Pompano Players’ inaugural season at the Pompano Beach Cultural Center in the most unforgettable, relatable, and of course, hilarious way possible.
