2. Failure: A Love Story

You can either be a grump about death, or you can live, love, and sing some songs along the way.The performance runs approximately two hours with an intermission.The year is 1928 and we meet the Fail sisters: Nelly, Jenny June, and Gerty (Kendal Romero). Born in that order. The sisters were bubbly, determined, and brittle. Also in that order. Set in the family home and clock shop near the Chicago River, this magical, musical fable follows the Fail sisters triumphs and tragedies. As with so many things in life such as blunt objects, disappearances and consumption, the Fail sisters never saw death coming. Happily ever after cant last forever. But in this upbeat look at lifes ups and downs, we learn you can either be a grump about death, or you can live, love, and sing some songs along the way. Also starring Trevor Earley (Mortimer Mortimer), Van Ferro (John N. Fail); and Philip Macaluso (Herschel), Jordan Zelvin (Patsy) and Jasmine Robertson (Queenie).
