Directed by Kevin Noll

An outrageously hilarious race against the clock begins when Savannah Sprunt Fairchild Honeycutt agrees to get her feisty mother all the way from Alabama to California in time for her brother’s wedding. Savannah’s problem: Mama won’t fly. With only four days to make it to the ceremony, this determined daughter has no choice but to drive cross-country with her equally willful mother, Norleen Sprunt, in Mama’s vintage sedan.

John Cariani’s LOVE/SICK is a comedy collection of nine slightly twisted and completely hilarious short plays. Set on a Friday night in an alternate suburban reality, this relatable romp explores the pain and the joy that comes with being in love.

Each scene has its own arc and tells the story of a couple at a crossroads in their relationship. Since each relationship is more advanced than the previous relationship, a larger arc emerges and the individual plays work together to create a satisfying whole – one that chronicles the lifecycle of a typical relationship from meeting through divorce…and afterwards.
