Have you ever seen a Black romantic comedy on stage? This fall, the joy, laughter, and tenderness of the rom-com tradition come to life at PH+T with the world premiere of A Lesson in Love, a new play by Nubia Monks.

Like the best rom-coms—think Brown Sugar or The Best Man—A Lesson in Love blends humor, vulnerability, and heart. It asks what happens when our needs, intuition, and truths collide in the complicated terrain of connection. Along the way, the play celebrates the many unexpected ways love shows up in our lives: messy, funny, tender, and real.

Directed by Jamil Jude, A Lesson in Love invites audiences to laugh, reflect, and revel in the joy of seeing Black love centered on stage.
