If you’re looking for love, sometimes it really takes stepping out of your comfort zone. Love doesn’t abide by any fixed formula, and if your heart and mind are open, you may be surprised at what you’ll find! These stories from around the world are sure to remind us that giving and getting love can be rewarding and energizing. The Secret Life of Words (2005) proves even on an off-shore oil rig, one can find love. This Irish-Spanish drama won four of Spain’s prestigious Goya awards and stars Canadian Sarah Polley, who is equally renowned for her directing skills.

Vero Beach Theatre Guild presents MUSICAL CHAIRS
Performances run through November 27. This delightful musical is about an audience watching a play! Joe Preston has not had a hit in years and hopes his new play will revive his career. He is at the mercy of an off Broadway audience consisting of two typical “gray haired matinee ladies,” a married couple who fight all the time, an anxious young man waiting for his date, an illiterate rock singer trying to impress his date with some culture, a Texas businessman and his culture vulture wife and three critics– one of who hates Preston’s work and another who begged his editor not to assign him to this show because Sam, his lover who recently jilted him, is in the cast. Poor Joe Preston! Marvelous music, hysterical comedy, and at least six showstoppers make this a surefire winner!
