By Kamala Hollander

"Love isn’t some idyllir shopping

"It's about young people growing up
and learning to accept accidental happi
ness and accidental disappointment.'
Schmor explains He emphasizes that this
is the first play he's found that deals with
homosexual and heterosexual relation
ships without shifting the theme ami fo
cus solely to the gay ( haracters

Although the play is mostly a comedy
it deals with some very serious societal
and personal issues sue h as homeless

It s not just a si rewhell 1 omedy. hut a
play in which good things and had things
happen that we can't control, and the
only way to survive them is through lov
