Hilarious and heartfelt, Love! Valour!

The performance of this staged reading will feature some of Community Theatre's best actors in a not to be missed evening of theatre directed by Scott R. Brill. Filled with biting wit, intimate moments and memorable characters, Love! Valour! Compassion! is powerful and laugh out loud funny. Note: This play deals with adult themes and situations.
