Taking A Chance
On Love

It's a merry mix-up of relationships–a saucy and intergenerational excursion into the realm of romance. Is age just a number? The delightful plot meanderings and unexpected twist at the end make this romantic evening of fun and laughter guaranteed to send you away with a smile.
