Synopsis

PERSONALS is a topical revue about dating and looking for love in the pre-Internet days of personal ads.  Among the writers were David Crane and Marta Kauffman, who went on to create the television show Friends.  An interesting factoid is that SNAPSHOTS also features a song with music by Alan Menken, “I’d Rather Dance Alone,” although Stephen and Alan did not collaborate on songs for the show
