The Love List
Norm Foster’s thought-provoking comedy is the latest production from Nassau Community College’s Department of Theatre and Dance. In this play, two middle-aged friends, Leon and Bill, concoct a list of attributes of the ideal woman – the top ten qualities in a mate. When the lovely Justine surprisingly arrives on the scene, the men quickly learn that their list could use a few revisions.
