Dennis Spears and his fellow actors are feeling a whole lotta love at St Paul's Penumbra Theatre.

The show that they are performing in, Dominic Taylor's "I Wish You Love," is sold out. And the run cannot be extended because after closing in St. Paul, "Love" is slated to transfer to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., before going to the Hartford (Conn.) Stage.

But the musical about singer Nat King Cole's struggles on the set of his pioneering 1957 TV will be back for a special engagement in the fall. On Tuesday, Penumbra announced that "Love" will return for 16 performances Nov. 18 - Dec. 4.
