Description
Summary:â First Love teaches you how to love. Great Love perfects that love. Last Love...well, we never really figured out what Last Love did.â <p> â Tim Without Thaliaâ and â Thalia With Someone Elseâ sprung from a place of being tired, but not yet sleepy. The â quarter-life crisisâ if you will: When everyone else seems to be getting married, having kids, starting their own basket-weaving businesses, except you. When relationships between college friends break and relationships between â real lifeâ friendsâ ¦break. When love is dictated as much by actual romance, as it is by power. Yet you still feel oddly euphoric about it all.<p> In these two companion plays, Tim, Thalia, and their clueless but well-meaning friends wax idiotic on the rules of modern romance: the chase, the connection, and, of course, the end. <p> Produced April 30 â May 2, 2009 in Virginia Techâ s Performing Arts Building under the direction of Dr. Patricia Raun, Theatre Arts Department Head. === Master of Fine Arts
