Butler County Community College’s theater troupe returns next week after a four-year hiatus with free public performances of monologues about an emotion, a BC3 professor said, in which one experiences a rapid heartbeat, becomes shaky and begins to perspire, and that “feels a lot like fear.”

Love, Mike Dittman added, “is probably the most powerful emotion. Think about how it upsets you. There’s a French phrase for having a crush. Coup de foudre. You go crazy.

“And I think everyone can relate to that.”

The Pioneer Players’ performance of “Love-Logues: A Night of Original Monologues” — in collaboration with BC3’s writers club and in recognition of Valentine’s Day — will be at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 13 and 14 in the Succop Theater on BC3’s main campus in Butler Township.

The shows will last about 75 minutes, said Christopher Bondi, a BC3 assistant professor of communications and adviser of the Pioneer Players. Performers will dress in attire appropriate for each monologue.
