Directed by Loretta Greco, the troupe includes Tasso Feldman, Joan McMurtrey, Conor O'Farrell and Kate Rylie. Commissioned by SCR, Goldfish will run to April 5 on the Julianne Argyros Stage. According to SCR, "Goldfish tells the tale of two off-beat college students who fall surprisingly in love. Lucy [Rylie] is loquacious. Albert [Feldman] is solitary. But Lucy persists, and to his amazement, sweeps him off his feet. Then problems develop: namely, her mother and his father. Dealing with eccentric parents stretches the power of love to its limits and sends Albert and Lucy on an imaginative search for a happy ending."

Love Song premiered at the Steppenwolf Theatre Company directed by Austin Pendelton and went on to the West End, where it was nominated for an Olivier Award for Best New Comedy.
