Long Story Short tells the story of Hope, an Asian American native of Southern California, and Charles, a Jewish man from the East Coast, who recently arrived in L.A. Time is relative in this wonder-world of storytelling; it stops on a dime and, without warning, flies by with a new phrase of delicious music. Unforgettable nights of joy, inexplicable days of pain and a deeply moving catharsis are all present in the couples journey as their love grows, fades, is tested and re-tested.

A live band will ignite the theatre with seductive songs that range from the electric flush of first love ("It Happens in a Moment"), to a sexy duet ("Live Like This"), to the release of suppressed emotions ("Knock Down/Drag Out"), to a sassy ode to middle-aged dating ("Empowered"). Hope and Charles' love story encompasses two different cultures and two distinct mythologies--in play and at play. They literally pour their hearts into each other through a rush of decades that embraces erotic highs, childbirth, tragedy, hard times, recovery, marital doldrums, separation, reconciliation and a final elegant dance to the tune, "Letting Go."
