The Overtime Theater presents an onstage homage to comic-book romance. Adapted from actual romance comics from the 1960′s and early ’70′s, Sob Choke Love! 3D! will stage live versions of these classic, sappy stories in their full glory. The stories are acted out verbatim, comic book panel by panel, with all of the dialogue that scintillated then and disturbs now. The past two incarnations of Sob Choke Love! have been selected as “one of the best shows of 2008 and 2009″ (San Antonio Express-News) and called “strange and hilarious” (UTSA Paisano). This year, Sob Choke Love! 3D! will include two short stories and one long-form romance told, Rashomon-style, from three different perspectives. The ensemble cast includes Matthew Arch, Sophia Bolles, Lilly Canaria, Cary Farrow, Matthew Sinclair, Theresa Ronquillo, and Lucy Villanueva. Sob Choke Love! 3D! is directed by Kathleen Lovejoy and Sophia Bolles.
Showtimes are 8 pm Thursdays-Saturdays starting February 12th. Two Sunday shows are scheduled for Feb. 14 (a special 8 pm Valentine’s Day Show with champagne and chocolate reception – $30/couple) and Feb. 21 (3 pm). Ticket prices are $12 general admission, and $9 for teachers, students, seniors 65+ and SATCO members. The Overtime is downtown in the Blue Star Arts Complex at 1414 S. Alamo St., Suite 103.
I will be there!!! Also after the show on Saturdays stick around to catch The Denials, one of the best Improv Troupes in San Antonio.
