Where: Chattanooga Theatre Centre, 400 River Street
Cost: $11.50 - $25
A darker cousin to Almost, Maine, John Cariani's Love/Sick is a collection of ten slightly twisted and completely hilarious short plays in which couples meet or break up or learn to love each other more. Set on a Friday night in an alternate suburban reality, this romp explores the pain and the joy that comes with being in love. Full of imperfect lovers and dreamers, Love/Sick is an unromantic comedy for the romantic in everyone. "Truly beautiful…" "…strikes just the right balance between wisdom and whimsy…light, bright, anti-romantic, and engaging." "Entertaining and fun."

You may donate online or on the day of the film.
