Viterbo to Present "Failure: A Love Story" Jan. 31–Feb. 1, Feb. 7–9

Viterbo University students will present the heartwarming drama Failure: A Love Story Friday, Jan. 31–Saturday, Feb. 1 and Friday, Feb. 7–Sunday, Feb. 9 in the Fine Arts Center LaCroix Black Box Theatre.

Failure: A Love Story is the whimsical and musical tale of the Fail sisters: Nelly, Jenny June, and Gerty, as they live out their lives above the family clock shop near the Chicago River. By the year 1928, their time will unexpectedly run out, but not before this fable proves that the power of love is far greater than any individual’s successes or failures.

Failure is a delightfully fun and charming story—the perfect heartwarming show for these chilly winter months. I think audiences are really going to enjoy it,” said Erin Jerozal, Viterbo theatre and music theatre faculty member and director of the production.

I would be happy to visit your classroom to give a presentation on a range of topics. In the past, I have demonstrated how to utilize the UGetConnected software so students can begin using the tool early. I have also introduced the concept of Service Learning (and how that’s different from volunteering). I am able to share about Service Saturdays and other opportunities to engage with the local community. Past presentations have lasted from 15–60 minutes as I can adjust for what the instructor and students need. Let me know as soon as possible if I am able to join your class and which days/times would work best for you.

Here are more details on possible topics:
