See and hear what's going on inside Charlie Styptic's head in LOVE ME, a self-conscious comedy in three acts!

It's the mid-1990s in New York City, and underachieving writer/motivational speaker Charlie Styptic is mired in a lifelong love life slump. Forever lovesick, he's haplessly counseled by a simpleminded sidekick and a womanizer he's just befriended. Will he ever find love? Or will he be eternally controlled by the incessantly critical voice in his head?

Over 15 years in the making, LOVE ME is an extreme comedy about the never-ending search for love and artistic fulfillment in an unforgiving world. It's 44 furiously fast scenes of comedy and acute cognitive dissonance.

The production stars

  • Carlotta Brentan (Six Passionate Women) as Susan/Kate, 
  • Amy-Helene Carlson (Blogologues) as Carol, 
  • Chris Chirdon(Epic History of Everyday Things) as Tom, 
  • Sarah Elizabeth Grace (Law and Order: SVU) as Sara, 
  • Mary Orzano (Food Detectives, Forensic Files) as Wendy, 
  • Zal Owen* (Fiddler on the Roof national tour, opposite Harvey Fierstein) as Charlie, 
  • Michael Perrie (The World Wars) as Charlie's Head, and J. Andrew Young* (30 Rock) as John. 


The production features

  • scenic design by Brian Dudkiewicz, 
  • costume design by Rachel Klein, and 
  • lighting design by Jonathan Hartley. 
  • Jaime McWilliams* is the Production Stage Manager.
