Because this is the first Longwood Theatre production in Jarman since 2009, the Office of Alumni and Career Services is extending a special invitation to alumni for the Saturday performance. There will be an alumni reception at 5 p.m. in the Maugans Alumni Center and an alumni walk to Jarman at 6:30 p.m.

“This is a rollicking comedy in which strange romance gives way to a miracle,” said Bruce Speas, associate professor of theatre, who is directing the production. “It’s about love lost, love found and love turned upside down.”
