AUTHOR'S NOTES:
True Love was performed once and never again. Written as an exercise for the flash drama group (educational thing). - I belong to a flash drama group and have written several pieces that have never been performed. That was why I was interested in starting No Shame in Orlando -- I was already writing in that format.

"True Love" was performed at a No Shame preview in March 2002.

Presumeably it was also performed at No Shame in April.
