Love Is Dead:
A Necromantic Musical Comedy
James Asmus, winner of the 2001 World's Playwright
Competition, wrote Love
is Dead and plays Orin, an introverted mortician who has "professional boundary issues." Orin gets nervous that his secrets will be unearthed when a geneticist comes to town to help solve a spat of serial murders. Orin quickly finds he has more to lose than he originally thought as he falls in love with a living, breathing woman.
"It's not the typical show you expect from a comedy theater," Director
Andrew Hobgood said. "We created this to attract people who don't
typically enjoy musical theater. In the style of hip, genre-breaking musicals
such as Avenue Q, Urinetown, and Little Shop of Horrors, we hope to reinvigorate
the musical theater audience. It's Six Feet Under meets Singing
in the Rain."
While Love
is Dead is a sophisticated, dark comedy, it is also a story of
murder and betrayal and as such contains ADULT MATERIAL. DISCRETION
ADVISED.
