love game

“Love Game” is Last Call’s eighth show in about three years, a relatively brisk production pace that has helped establish the young troupe as serious players on the L.A. immersive theater scene.

The primary theme of “Love Game,” says director Michael DiNardo, is self-improvement.

A production like “Love Game,” a romantic comedy timed for Valentine’s Day and equally influenced by reality television and dating-simulator video games, is relatively rare.

“������ we get to do is touch on all the different genres and realms of worlds where you can play, whether that’s been sci-fi or postapocalyptic, or fantasy with pirates, or more modern realistic with ‘Love Game,’” DiNardo says.

This is “Love Game,” a new interactive play from the Last Call Theatre company staged at the Virgil, a bar and live-music space near the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Virgil Avenue.
