Love Sick

This November, ACT (a community theatre) presents Love Sick by Kristina Poe—a dark comedy with a grim sense of humour—at The Guild in Charlottetown. Performances run at 7:30 pm on November 6, 8, and 19–22.

Emily, played by PEI actress Jenna Marie Holmes, is love sick. Her husband has left her for a younger woman. Dating is murder. And worse, she’s started smoking again. Family and friends offer no help, and group therapy ends up disappointing her. Can a mysterious man rekindle her lost passion? Or will her husband finally realize the love he’s thrown away?

The production team includes Director Alyssa Malone and Stage Manager Sharon MacDonald. 

 “The struggle of the main character to make sense of her world spoke to me,” shares MacDonald, who has stage managed some of ACT’s most celebrated shows. “I think a message that could be taken from this show is that things are not always black and white; there is not a clearly defined good guy/bad guy in most conflicts and sometimes one needs to step outside of oneself to see the truth.”
