Providing an engaging but equally frustrating window into Hollywood filmmaking, the Sidewalk Studio Theatre hosts the world premiere of “Modern Love.” Playwright Anthony Mora’s story, detailing the impersonal aspects of show business, is quite captivating. It’s just the show’s direction, technical aspects and some of the performances that gum up the works. Mora’s script features a film-like structure of multiple scenes set in widely divergent locales.
