StageQ is pleased to announce the Madison premiere of DUTCH LOVE, by Claudia Allen, author of last season’s popular HANNAH FREE, from April 7 – April 29, 2006.

DUTCH LOVE is a rousing comedy featuring a nuclear family that is about to explode. Hal and Leonora have been married for over twenty years and raised a daughter, Cass, the apple of their eyes. The family has learned to cope with Hal’s extramarital dalliances along the way -- that is until Lenora decides that what’s good for the gander can’t be bad for the goose. Soon enough, Dutch, who is dedicated to arousing the passion of neglected women, has swept Leonora off her feet. But when Dutch arrives at the house for Easter dinner and meets Cass, things get hotter than Dutch love in a haymow. Full of unexpected twists, turns and delightful insights, DUTCH LOVE is a hilarious look at all kinds of love and all types of family.

DUTCH LOVE features Christopher Babiarz as Hal, Pam Adams as Leonora, Kelly Kiorpes as Cass, Tim Spires as Andrei, and Katy Conley as Dutch. It is co-directed by Roseann Sheridan and Tara Ayres.

DUTCH LOVE will take place at the Bartell Theater, 113 E Mifflin Street, Madison, Wisconsin.
