About the Show
True Love Forever is a new immersive theater performance created by Jennine Willett of Third Rail Projects and multi-platinum-selling composer, singer, and songwriter Coyle Girelli.
Set to a live performance by Coyle and his band, audiences are offered comfort and camaraderie in a whirlwind experience of music, theater, and dance that cuts straight to the heart and keeps us laughing along the way.
As the audience arrives, they are folded into light-hearted social games steeped in themes of love, heartbreak, and everything in between— sipping smoky elixirs or love potions of their own making at the bar, assembling love charms to slip in a pocket, or joining performers in quiet corners to write love letters. The atmosphere hums, “We’re all in this together.” As the band kicks off, the cast gracefully oscillates between the stage, dance floor, and seats, creating an enchanting performance that wraps the audience inside a quintessential love story.
Become a Supporter
To bring True Love Forever to audiences in NYC, we need your help!
With the support of a Shuttered Venues Grant in 2021-2022, we began the development of True Love Forever. To date, we have created almost seventy percent of the content.
We are reaching out for your support to finish our rehearsal process and begin the next phase of getting the performance out into the world!
Every donation will go towards paying our collaborating artists every step of the way.
If we hit our goal, we will be able to mount an exclusive preview to share the completed show and garner the interest of potential presenters and venue partners, paving our way toward an opening.
We hope you will join us and become a part of True Love Forever!
