Presented by Illusion Theater to open its 2010-11 Season

Always & Forever

Friday, Aug 20th to Sunday, Oct 3rd

created by Richard D. Thompson, Sanford L. Moore, and Garry Q. Lewis

Hitting the stage for a knock-your-socks-off return after years of audience requests, Always & Forever will charm you into love. Set in a 1970's urban neighborhood barbershop, this hit musical revue mixes wisdom and song to show what love is all about. Using popular '60's and '70's R&B songs like "Can't Get Enough of Your Love," "Stop, Look, Listen," and "When a Man Loves a Woman," this play shows the world of love through the lives of four African American men. Sit back and enjoy this unforgettable show that promises to draw you into a warm embrace.
