Cholerton stated, "I thought long and hard on my first production as artistic director and found all the elements I was looking for in Vices: A Love Story. The energy of the piece is irresistible. The story is contemporary and involves individuals in their 20s and 30s. The music is sophisticated while remaining accessible. Above all, the show manipulates a fine line between heartfelt human emotion and outlandish comedy. This is truly a show that will appeal to all age demographics."

The design team includes Tim Bennett (sets), John Hall (lighting), Lane Starrat (sound), Alberto Arroyo (costumes) and Sean Lawson (projections).

Caldwell Theatre Company is at 7901 N. Federal Highway, in Boca Raton, FL. For information, call (561) 241-7432 or visit www.caldwelltheatre.com.
