Failure: A Love Story

Failure: A Love Story looks at the lives of the three Fail sisters in Chicago in 1928 as they each encounter and fall in love with young businessman, Mortimer Mortimer, unaware this is the last year that any of the girls will be alive. Here we meet the uptight and time conscious eldest sister, Gertrude, the determined and confident swimmer middle sister, Jenny June, the fun-loving and starry-eyed youngest sister Nelly, and their odd, not very good with people, adopted brother, John N.  Along with a cast of chorus members playing a variety of spectators, creatures, and clocks, among other things, we enter into the world of The Fail Clockworks alongside Mortimer and learn with him that “just because it’s over, doesn’t mean it wasn’t a great success”.

Directed by Elizabeth Dean, music directed by Karina Summers, and featuring Justin D. Mancini as Mortimer Mortimer, Katie Peters as Nelly Fail, Lexus Fletcher as Jenny June Fail, Lucinda Otto as Gertrude Fail, Joey Cravalho as John N. Fail, Levi Fuentes as The Gramophone, and a talented group of chorus members including Marcus Daniel, Cullen Smith, Chris Allen, and Monica Vejar.
