Summertime
A play by Charles Mee
Directed by Jenn Haltman

Surrounded by complicated and chaotic relationships, Tessa wonders if she’s prepared to fall in love with James — who is sure he's fallen in love with her. In the delightfully whimsical and heightened world of Summertime, lovers, family, and friends tempt and attempt long-lasting romance, forever questioning whether it’s possible at all. Love happens. Sometimes.

REVIEWS
"Summertime, presented by Between Two Boroughs Productions and expertly directed by Jenn Haltman, takes full advantage of its site…The cast is well-assembled and full of energy...The set is magnificently designed by Tim McMath, and the costumes are perfectly calibrated by Kima Baffour. Haltman shows great skill at direction, forging elegant pictures with diagonal staging and nuanced scene work…To my mind, the best moment in this lovely production is one that’s not in the script at all, when the entire cast sings an acoustic rendition of “The Power of Love” by Huey Lewis and the News…Summertime feels less like a performance and more like an evening at your hip friend’s loft in Brooklyn, with everyone basking in the warmth of a shared nostalgia, understanding each other and staying hopeful that eventually it’ll all turn out okay.” —Cory Conley, nytheatre now
