Tenth Anniversary Edition: Saint Valentine and the Wildebeest Kobun Kaluza

Celebrating ten years of performances generously volunteered by nascent and inventive actors and directors, a decade of love letters for live audiences, this Anniversary Edition is delivered like Cupid?s arrow, straight to your heart. A somersault in a mid-winter park, playing hide-and-go-seek with love, you?ll fall head over heels for this quirky full-length romantic comedy. Set in NYC, in February of 2001, this four-character romp turns 20th Century gender roles inside out, as it embraces the changing relationships of the new millennia: It's not exactly love at first sight for Ernie Wright, opening his eyes to find sleepless Florence Hyde, drinking screw top wine in a park at daybreak. But opportunity knocks when Irwin Howe, a local stay-at-home dad in desperate need for a Valentine's Day babysitter, sizes up Ernie as a man with plenty of time to spare. In this game of hide-and-seek, will there be saint or wild beast hiding in the playground? To all the people who helped put ?Saint Valentine and the Wildebeest? together, year after year, my sincerest gratitude. From the original cast to the most recent, my most heart felt, thank you. To the venues, whether a Manhattan theater, coffee shop in Staten Island, or bar in Brooklyn, a special, thanks a million.
