Do remember sending telegrams?  How many years has it been since you dialed a rotary phone, rather than sending a quick text message?

Tryon Little Theatre’s production of “Love, Sex, and the IRS” gives audiences a refreshing and hilarious look at by-gone communications. Set in 1970s New York, “Love, Sex, and the IRS” tells the story of two male roommates who try to outwit the IRS by filing as a married couple.  They almost get away with it—until the taxman comes to investigate!

Like a cross between “I Love Lucy” and “The Odd Couple,” this madcap comedy is filled with lighthearted, PG humor that’s sure to drum up nostalgia for vinyl records, shag carpet, and simpler times.
