All the Ways to Say I Love You is a solo play about love, hard choices, and the cost of fulfilling an all-consuming desire."

The creative team behind All the Ways to Say I Love You features scenic design by Rachel Hauck, costume design by Emily Rebholz, lighting design by Matt Frey, and sound design by Bart Fasbender.
