In “My Date With Death – A Musical Romance,” Link finds himself at the end of his rope, drinking the remainder of his life away at a bar, when he is visited by a spirit from the beyond. This spirit reveals herself to be a soul collector sent to keep Link from ending his energy too soon. Strap in and take a Dickensian sprint across the universe with Link, an isolated soul, as he falls in love with Lady Death and her never-ending knowledge of the cosmos.

“I have struggled my entire life with questions of suicide, the purpose of life and what comes after. In ‘My Date With Death – A Musical Romance,’ through the character of Link I am channeling my personal pain into music and asking not what can others do for Link, but what Link can do for others,” said star Sugimoto who also wrote and composed the play. “Being so close to calling it quits in real life, I have decided to reframe my purpose and express my love of death as a genuine love of life in this theatrical venture.”
