5 Stars from DC Metro Theater Arts!
"...this bubbly concoction is like an ice cream soda. It’s sweet and funny and beautifully performed, all of which helps to explain why it’s nearly sold out."

4 Stars from DC Theatre Scene! 
"Musically, the score with its peppery wordplay, full of legalese and social media lingo, has the feel of a modern Gilbert & Sullivan."

Forgotten Opera Company (VLOC's alter ego for producing contemporary works) debuts a world-premiere one-act comedy. 

Ethan Rosenblum, a junior attorney, calls out "sick" to propose to his girlfriend Emma at a romantic lakeside resort. Unfortunately, his boss, George Rosenburg, is meeting his mistress, the judge Virginia, at the same bed and breakfast. Meanwhile, Rosenburg's wife has enlisted her niece to spy on his extramarital activities.

Compromising situations, mistaken identities, and a hotel employee who can't get anyone's room number right lead to mayhem and hilarity of operatic proportions.
This production is presented as a part of the Capital Fringe Festival, a program of the Washington, DC non-profit Capital Fringe.
