NOTE FROM THE PLAYWRIGHT

This play comes from a very personal place. I spent a long time married to someone who I care deeply about, but who I disagree with on some important issues. At first it felt like maybe that didn’t matter, and then, over time, it started to feel more and more like it did. I found myself wondering what you do when you love someone, but you hate some of the things that person believes… and I wrote the play to try to figure that out.

I didn’t figure it out… but I did realize that it’s something that also resonates with a lot of other people. I don’t feel any less uncertain, but I do feel less alone. We live in a world that prizes certainty, that reinforces it with likes and comments and algorithms that provide support for all the things we already believe. But I’ve always found that the most interesting art comes from living in the questions. I’m grateful to those who’ve spent time living in these questions with me – my family, this amazing cast and creative team, and all of you.

- Lia Romeo

ABOUT COLT COEUR THEATER COMPANY

Colt Coeur is a Brooklyn-based theatre company founded in 2010. Our original, story-driven, visceral theatre embraces the power of intimate live performance— it pulls you close and doesn’t let go. Our community of artists nurtures and invests in diverse perspectives to produce work that challenges the boundaries between tradition and experimentation. We embrace the ambivalence, terror and exhilaration of our time with theatre that is an antidote to the pervasive cultural illness of loneliness. We explore themes of coming-of-age, individual and collective identity, nostalgia and history, public versus private, love, lust, and loss. Through our unique collective process, every theatre artist—actor, playwright, designer— takes part in shared invention and collaborative creation; creating heart- and mindopening audience experiences unlike any other. We nurture the next generation of theatre artists by providing access, education and a professional pipeline, while amplifying voices and perspectives that have historically been sidelined.

Our 24-member ensemble of actors, designers, playwrights, and directors incubates the next generation of theatre artists through the development and production of new plays—which we create from scratch. Over 13 years, Colt Coeur has produced 17 world premieres, one East Coast premiere, developed nearly 50 plays, and provided free arts intensives for over 200 students. We pride ourselves on being a laboratory for exploration while also nurturing the work of emerging artists and providing them a launch pad for their visions.
