Carreiro and Mortensen have opted to bring together a medley of scenes in a comedic variety show about “a mixed up crazy thing called love.” Assembled in a rapid “summer stock” style and featuring an ensemble cast, Love Is… illustrates love in many forms – from the love of conflict to compromise, a job or a language, and more.
