Sacramento’s B Street Theatre concludes its B3 season with “Love Song,” an odd and oddly touching tribute to love, whether real or imaginary. The play, by John Kolvenbach, involves two couples, one with a relationship in the real world, the other in a not-so-real one. Joan (Elisabeth Nunziato) is a tough and practical businesswoman who appalls her tender hearted husband, Henry (Kurt Johnson), with her ruthlessness.
But her soft side embraces her mentally challenged brother, Beane (Jason Kuykendall), who shares a sparsely furnished apartment with a strange and lovely young woman, Molly (Brooke Adams) who arrived on the premises as a burglar. Theirs is an ambiguous relationship tinged with potential danger. The play winds down to an ethereal finish, much of it in mime.
“Love Song” runs through May 10 at 2711 B Street, behind the Stanford Park Baseball Field. Performances are Tuesday through Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday, at 1 p.m. (April 5 and 12). Matinees are at 2 p.m. on Thursday. (No show on April 14) Tickets are $22-$30, with student and senior discounts. Call (916) 443-5300.

This play was not nessesarily as described on the B-Street theater website. It had a lot of cussing and inappropriate scenes for a child. They should rate Plays like they do movies.
Taken symobolically, it was okay. Literally, kinda weird.
