Love, tears and laughter are in the air at Broke Thespians Theatre Company in San Marcos, Texas, as the company gets ready for its opening production of "Love/ Sick" on Feb. 10 at the Price Center.

Written by playwright and actor John Cariani, the story is told through nine vignettes that each present different couples in different stages of their relationship. Starting with a love-at-first-sight encounter and ending with a divorced couple running into each other, the short plays express love in all of its forms.
The universal story of love that anyone can relate to is what co-director and co-founder of Broke Thespians Theatre Company Mitchell Oden loved about "Love/Sick." Compared to Cariani's popular play "Almost, Maine," "Love/Sick" is a darker yet even more hilarious play. Oden said that it will leave audiences emotional.
"'Love/Sick' shows the successes, failures and hardships of a relationship and will make you cry laughing," Oden said. "Crying both ways, happy and sad."
