University of Redlands
A partnership production of the Riverside School for the Arts, Riverside Community College Department of Performing Arts and the University of Redlands Theatre Arts Department.
A new romantic musical comedy: New songs reminiscent of the jazz and wit of Cole Porter and a love story of boy meets girl, boy gets girl written with a satiric and irreverent humor that is in the world of The Simpsons. Love U is a comic romp that giddily rides on a belief in shtick, in song and the magic of theatre.
Love U. satirizes the world of academia and the avant garde and reminds us all that sometimes it almost takes getting an advanced degree to learn one of life's most important lessons: "Do what you love."
