Celebrate Valentine's Day with All About Love at the Paradise Factory Theater


Inspired by the music of Stevie Wonder, ALL ABOUT LOVE offers a “fresh look at love” in an energetic, interactive, modern multi-media experience that combines live theater, film, music, dance and more into a single narrative piece about love in all of its fabulously unpredictable forms.

On Valentine’s Day, there will be a special performance at 6:00pm that will include a complimentary glass of wine for each audience member. A 6:00pm curtain time gives the audience a chance to “go out” for the romantic holiday without being out in a crowded restaurant. With tickets priced at $18, anyone can afford to treat their beloved or themselves. What a great way to celebrate a day dedicated to love, whether or not you have a Valentine! For tickets and info visit www.allaboutloveshow.com.

ALL ABOUT LOVE consists of three unique storylines seamlessly woven together through a unique and contemporary use of multi-media. Love’s many forms are examined through these compelling scenes that touch real life emotions and are interspersed with vignettes that express unconventional viewpoints on relationships:

Three Point Stance at the Edge of the World

Soldiers from different eras find music and more in mayhem.

Carmelita 1:13

A young couple deals with a break up and a break down. It’s tough being in a love triangle with God.

Lost & Found

An aging gay couple comes to grips with disco and the truth in the dairy aisle of the Food Emporium.
