Tomorrow We Love

A new gender-bending comedic homage to the classic romantic films of the mid-twentieth century written by Jeffrey Vause (Aloha Oy!) and Steve Hauck (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”), it's 1960 in the wealthy enclave of Noble Bay, California, where Elaine ‘Lainie' Fairbanks is the toast of the town. She has it all - money, status and an intimate relationship with the Pacific Ocean. Suddenly Lainie must contend with her husband's betrayal, her daughter's rebellion, her best friend's treachery and the wrath of a small town engulfed in scandal. Can she turn tragedy into triumph? Will she crumble or will she soar? Tomorrow We Love is her story - and ours!

Steve Hauck directs a cast of six, including Jeffrey Vause as Elaine "Lainie" Fairbanks, with Alex Herrera (NY: Pride House, Side Show), Phoebe Lloyd (Regional: Loves Labor’s Lost), Jimmy Moon (NY: A Letter to the Bishop), Sarah Sanou (Regional: Measure for Measure, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike),and Robert Sebastian Webb (Regional: The Odd Couple, The Mulligan).

“Jeffrey and I are gay men who both had very special relationships with our mothers,” said co-playwright and director Steve Hauck. "With Tomorrow We Love we aim for intriguing currents of feminism underneath a frothy spoof of those period film melodramas. Unwed mothers!, Unfaithful husbands!, Betrayal!, Seduction!, all played for laughs, but also for real--with cross-gender casting in both directions. We celebrate the pre-Women’s Lib housewives of the 1950’s, using the ‘drag’ genre made famous by Charles Busch, in a unique, smart and loving way.”
