In the video above, Director Ray Roderick talks about the Denver Center for the Performing Arts’ production of the musical comedy First Date, which he calls a “super-funny, modern love story” that follows two characters as they go through their first date at a busy New York restaurant.

As the date unfolds, the couple quickly finds they are not alone on this unpredictable evening. “It reminds people of what it was to be in love for the first time,” Roderick said.

The all-local cast includes Adriane Leigh Robinson, Seth Dhonau, Steven J. Burge, Jordan Leigh, Lauren Shealy, Barret Harper and Cashelle Butler. (Pictured at right:  Dhonau and Robinson, by Emily Lozow.)

First Date performs through April 22 at the Garner Galleria Theatre.
