highly recommended

David E. Talbert's Love On Layaway is a wildly inventive, laugh-out-loud journey inside the lives of three couples living in a Philadelphia neighborhood. First, there's Ms. Willanetta (Cassi Davis), who after a life-changing religious experience, no longer wants to have relations with her suitor of twelve years, Renzo (Buddy Lewis). Next, there's Epiphany (Joi Campbell), a single mother who has yet to decide who will be the man in her life, her new boyfriend Reggie (Chico Bennymon) or her six-year-old son, Man Man. Finally, there's Monique Graham (Deborah Cox), who feels as if her relationship with live-in boyfriend Anthony (Mel Jackson) is on layaway and he's making the absolute lowest monthly payments.

love on Layaway

Moving contemporary musical, dramatic play about love and relationships. Singing was exemplary. Characters could have used a little more development. Overall a very good production.

Love on Layaway

This stage play demonstrated the power of love. The type of love that can only come through the loving God that we serve. What a wonderful & magical way to bring couples with unique but similar issues together.

I enjoyed this

This was a nice play. I enjoyed it and is looking forward to more of Talberts plays.

Must See

LOVE IT!!! Buddy Lewis aka Renzo is so funny in this one. Deborah Cox is amazing as always. Cassie Davis (House of Pain) is her ole sweet christian self. Chico Bennymon was surprisingly good too. Joi Campbell was new to me but she held her own. Man Man and his Littles lol and you cant go wrong with that fine piece of chocolate Mel Jackson. If you like stage plays this is a must see. Production was great, taping was great and story line is very relatable.

A lovely play...3.5 stars

After watching Talberts 'Fabric of A Man', I decided to get this play and liked it. I give it 3.5 stars as a play rating. It was engaging, funny and enlightening. It is about three couples who are at a crossroad in their relationship. All three wants commitments from their lovers. I am one of many women unsure about marriage today.
Let's talk about Deborah Cox's role. She played a woman (Monique) who desperately wanted her boyfriend (played by the handsome Mel Jackson) to commit and marry her. He simply did not want to. I really enjoyed the dialogue between the two. He says its better to remain live-in lovers because the relationship stays fresh. He compared it to leasing a car. While Deborah Cox says marrying a woman is like buying a house. Treat them right and their value increases. I actually liked the fact that Mel was honest about his feelings. Plus wait til you hear his rationale...funny. A new neighbor mends the three couples back together. In the end the men all see the light, but one of then should have stood his ground. The play of course had spirtual undertones but was still enjoyable.
A nice outro from the writer is also present.
Not all characters were enjoyable (some a bit annoying) but they worked well together.
Look out for the ever handsome Mykel Shannon.
