Your Name On My Lips
True Art. True Love.
YourNameOnMyLips.com
Sam, a self-taught painter, struggles to get into an art institute; while fighting to hold onto the love of his life, as the materialistic world tugs at her. With a contemporary, classically-infused score, “Your Name on My Lips” will transport you back to when love was earnest, feelings deep, and romance unabashedly unapologetic.
