This romantic comedy focuses on the trials and discoveries of Sarah Blackstone Hightower (played by Lynne Atkins). She is a feisty woman who, when she discovers her husband's infidelity decides on taking drastic action. But a funny thing happens on the way to the homicide, she falls in love with a very unlikely man, Jake P. Little (played by Phil Atkins, of course!). He is a guy shutting down the bar that he has owned for years in a seedy hotel. Sarah is the best thing that ever walked through his doors, and he sets his sights on getting her. It is a close call whether Sarah will end up in jail or with a new sweetie at Niagara Falls. The play is like a very funny dream, with characters drifting in and out in flashback, as Sarah comes to discover some very unexpected truths about her heart. Two accomplished actors (Jane Simmonds and Jim Riley) play a wild variety of characters who pass through Sarah's experience. Savannah Power, in a non-speaking role, plays everything from a cop to a slot machine. All in all, it promises to be a laugh filled, heart touching evening, perfect for a belated celebration of love - a Valentine's Day in March!
