Love and Marriage: What a Difference a Year Makes

Illusion Theater
528 Hennepin Avenue Minneapolis

Composer/Arranger Roberta Carlson and Illusion Theater Co-Producing Director Michael Robins have reworked last year's production using the same format - songs and videotaped interviews - to celebrate love, life partners and the true meaning of "for better or for worse." Rachel Hurst, Randy Schmeling and Dennis Spears return, and will be joined by Neal Beckman, Teri Parker Brown and Aeysha Kinnunen, along with a high school mini-chorus (Anna Evans, Kennadi Hurst, Davon Suttles, Harrison Wendt and Sadie Wendt). A live, three-piece combo with Carlson on piano and keyboards, Demetrius Mabry on drums and Jay Young on bass will accompany the singers as they celebrate with new songs, such as Love is the Law and Brand New Day. This updated version also features fresh interviews with children, teens and seniors talking about their definitions of love and marriage.
