Flanders Theater Company and

Trinity House Theatre present:

Could This Be Love

COULD THIS BE LOVE is comprised of six comic vignettes by award-winning local playwrights Kitty Dubin and Kim Carney, in which an assortment of
contemporary characters are determined to do whatever it takes to find love.

In THE JOY OF SEX, a newly married couple seeks to rekindle their rapidly fading passion with the help of an inept therapist. ALONE TOGETHER looks
at two strangers in a restaurant whose search for love becomes intertwined. SKIN DEEP concerns a divorced woman's attempt to jump-start her love life through plastic surgery. In MESSAGES two answering machines chronicle the development of an unusual relationship. BYE BYE LOVE explores the relationship between two women who meet at a funeral home and their connection with the departed. In MELTDOWN, a steamy encounter sours when the participants' true motives are gradually revealed.

Four actors play thirteen different roles in this funny and poignant evening.

Kim Carney's work has appeared throughout Michigan, as well as on both coasts. Her most recent full-length play, THE HOME TEAM, will be produced at the Phoenix Theatre in Indianapolis in May, as well as at the Performance Network in Ann Arbor next fall. Other productions include MAGGIE ROSE, which was recently staged at New Jersey Repertory Theatre and at the Performance Network, LABOR DAY, ONLY ME AND YOU and NOONER at the Purple Rose Theatre, PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORIES (at the Boarshead Theatre in Lansing), BOMBSHELLS (also at the Boarshead, as well as The Theatre Company at University of Detroit), LIFE IS A BEACH (Millenium Theatre, Southfield), and I LOVE CHRISTMAS (1515 Broadway, Detroit). LIB was produced at the Planet Ant in Hamtramck and at the Friends and Artists Theatre in Los Angeles, where it earned six DramaLogue awards. A
graduate of Wayne State University, Carney received its 1998 Arts Achievement Award."
