Love is fire, but whether it will warm your heart or burn your house down is sometimes hard to say. Just in time for Valentines Day, Portland Story Theater brings you Smitten! a brand new show about the kind of love that stuns you, lifts you, shakes you by the neck and takes you on a wild roller coaster ride of thrilling ascents, terrifying plunges, and  just when you thought you knew where you were going  breath-taking sharp curves. 

Smitten! is a collection of intimate and revealing stories about the joys and the struggles, the hopes and disappointments, the failures and the redemptions that await us when love strikes like a bolt from the blue and we just have to deal with it. From the heart-warmingly tender to the deliciously dark and cynical, from  the agony to the ecstasy and all points in between, these are stories about weak-in-the-knees, got-it-bad, burn-your-house-down love.

PST founders (and long time married couple) Lynne Duddy and Lawrence Howard will be joined in this show  by special guest stars Will Hornyak, Concetta Antonelli, and Michael Philips. In addition to three stories--two tandem and one solo--there will be wine and chocolate, singing and dancing, a few good jokes and worldly epigrams, free relationship advice, and even some shameless flirting with the audience. 

Come join us this Valentines weekend for some painfully honest reflections on love and romance.  Let's face the music ........ and dance!
