This modern play tells the bittersweet story of Isaac and Amy, who have been an on-again, off-again couple for 15 years before they finally decide to get married. Amy's longtime friend, a young man who lives next door, and a diary from Isaac's stepmother cause everyone to reassess their views on relationships as well as each other. Audience discretion is advised.

Nicolas Crisafulli, professor of fine arts and theatre at Franklin College, will direct the play. He earned his bachelor's degree in theatre arts and political science from Presbyterian College in South Carolina and his master's degree in fine arts from the University of Memphis. Crisafulli joined the Franklin College faculty in 2009, after serving as a graduate instructor at the University of Memphis.

General admission for the play is $12. Admission is $8 for students and seniors (55 and older). Franklin College students, faculty and staff are admitted free with a valid Franklin College ID.
