“Julie Hutton’s longtime fantasy holiday destination is Verona, the “City of Love” where Romeo and Juliet met and fell in love. And Julie’s fantasy vacation may culminate with her marriage to her fiance, Brandon (Raymond Ablack).” “Julie is taken aback when Brandon ditches her before they begin their adventure. But, being the hopeless romantic that she is, she resolves to go alone to Verona and see what happens.”

Although Julie and her unexpected housemates first quarrel like the Montagues and Capulets, she makes the most of the situation and realizes that she may just have her Shakespeare love tale after all. Mark Steven Johnson wrote and directed Love in the Villa.
