Synopsis:
Most Americans have heard of domestic violence, but few know that it affects
teen relationships. IT AIN'T LOVE follows the young, spirited members of
FACES, a gutsy improv theater company, combining acting and therapy, known for
"telling it like it is." Given three months to create a show about abusive
relationships, the kids, ages 15-24, start by boldly exploring their own love
lives. Intense reenactments bring the violence they've experienced and
inflicted dramatically to life. The process is both exhilarating and painful.
A striking and alternative look into the intense world of teenagers and
violence with a focus on the importance of dialogue and communication. The
final product - the new show - is triumphant and serves as a tribute to the
honesty and courage of an inspiring group of young adults.
