Oy, What They Said About Love

FRIDAY, AUGUST 7th at 7:30pm

Written and performed by Steve Budd

In Oy, What They Said About Love, Steve Budd wonders why other people can—and he can’t—tie the knot. Budd sheds light on how people meet and make it to the altar, the push and pull of relationships, singles who can’t seem to settle down, and more. The Oakland-based actor captures the physical and vocal nuances of more than a dozen characters, using their own words taken from hours of interviews, and weaves in his relentless search for “the one.”

Audiences get to satisfy their voyeuristic curiosity about how others look for love and—in some cases—find it. They’ll meet a cast of characters including a New Age couple who could swear they met before they met, a couple who met on Craigslist, and a pair of metalheads who thought it would be a hoot to get married on 6-6-06, among others.
