A seemingly endless summer abounds in this classic romantic comedy with a contemporary twist, as a young King and his three lords vow to reject temptation and pursue a scholarly and celibate existence for three years.  They are quickly brought back to reality when a Princess and her three ladies arrive in the kingdom, proving that matters of the heart prevail over the mind.  But when a crisis occurs and the lovers are forced apart with inevitable autumn on the horizon, will they find that good things are worth the wait?

 

Director Brent Gibbs says, "Love's Labour's Lost is witty, heartwarming and fun.  It is a joyous tale of young people learning to play with words and each other's hearts."
