Town Hall Arts Center will present the regional premiere of the comedy, “The Love List,” by Canadian playwright Norm Foster. This adult comedy warns you to be careful what you wish for. Two men concoct a list of the attributes of the ideal woman — the “top 10” best qualities in a mate. When this allegedly ideal woman actually arrives on the scene the men quickly learn that their list could use a few revisions. The show contains sexual themes and adult language. The limited run has 7:30 p.m. performances on Fridays and Saturdays and two Sunday 2 p.m. matinees (Aug. 15, 22) beginning July 30 through Sunday, Aug. 22. To purchase tickets, call 303-794-2787, ext. 5 or visit www.townhallartscenter.com.
