NORTH MANCHESTER – Manchester University invites the public to attend "The Lonely Hearts Club," with performances Nov. 7-8 at 8 p.m., and Nov. 9 at 2:30 p.m. in Cordier Auditorium.
A romantic comedy featuring a journey of love and unexpected connections, "The Lonely Hearts Club" tells the story of two adversarial coworkers who fall in love on an anonymous dating app, according to a news release from Manchester University.
There is no cost for admission.
The show began as a 10-minute play that junior MU student Liz Moss wrote for a high school theatre class. When she learned that Manchester's Theatre Society produces a student-written play each fall, she returned to the idea.
"I saw an opportunity to breathe new life into it, taking the original concept and expanding it into a fuller, more developed production," said Moss. "Over the summer, I was able to deepen the characters, enrich the plot, and explore themes that I hadn't fully considered in the original version. What started as a small class project has now grown into something that truly reflects my growth as a playwright and my love for theatre."
This play includes brief scenes depicting an emotionally abusive partner, as well as some background drinking and smoking. Mild language is used throughout.
