My Dark Love: An Improvised Teen Gothic Romance! explores the absurd and perverse world of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga. The show was a popular product of ImprovBoston's Comedy Lab this fall. Each night the cast goes through the entire saga, from Bella and Edward's meeting to the bizarre monster/human hybrid that is their off-spring. Only, each week the audience gets to help guide the plot. The Jacob and Edward characters are assigned random monsters each week. The cast has a wheel that an audience member spins and it picks the monster. In the past, Jacob and Edward have been ghosts, devils, Frankensteins, Cyclopes, and Easter Bunnies.

The cast includes: Jackie Arko, Michelle Barbera, Dana Jay Bein, Shannon Connelly, Chris Cuddy, Hannah Foell, Marcello Illarmo, Mike Morrell, Erin Petti, Ryan Petti, and Lori Strauss. The show is directed by Joseph Creedon. The Technical Director is Jason Rossitto and the production is designed by Chris Plummer. Steve Gilbane and Rajiv Nunna created the music.

"The wheel of romance turns for Bella Swan. Who, or what, will her true love be, a mummy, a pirate, or perhaps the Anti-Christ himself? Only Fate will decide. My Dark Love: A Gothic Teen Romance takes you into the world of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga, a world of darkness and sparkle, of devastating crushes and unbridled abstinence, of tender moments, and orally administered cesarean sections, "said director Creedon.
