Take one part ‘Run, Lola, Run,’ add 3 super hot lesbian co-stars, mix with terrific acting, and finish with relationship angst, and you’ve got the hit of the year.  Tempestuous and sensuous Lola is a chronic serial dater who skips over U-Haul dreams and heads right for the pants of her conquests.

Casey is Lola’s girlfriend (the uber-hot Jill Bennett), and has an amazing career chance, albeit with her ex-girlfriend (seductress Cathy DeBuono).  Needing photos immediately from Lola, Casey gives her just one chance to make it to an important meeting at the local lesbian watering hole.  Make that three chances, actually, keeping with the ‘Run, Lola, Run’ theme.  Lola (award winner Ashleigh Sumner) runs into just about every obstacle San Francisco has to offer, from dogs to dykes, parking boots and photo lab affairs (naturally, featuring another of Lola’s exes).

From one end of The City to the other, Lola runs, jumps, bikes, hikes, Muni’s and hitches with an array of strangers in order to finally come through for Casey and keep her from running off to a villa with DeBuono’s Italian stallion.  The soundtrack keeps up with every moment, and features music from lesbian heroes Saucy Monkey (playing LIVE at the Lola post-party, just for Fresno audiences!).  This is the lesbian rom-com of the year, impossible to turn away from (for both the action and the actors)…while Lola may have found the one she wishes to slow down for, she has no choice but to run run run in order to fulfill her fantasies.

Your fantasies will be fulfilled as well with the cast in attendance at both the Tower Theatre and at the incredible Starline after-party to follow.
