Blind date: perhaps the two most cringe-inducing words in the English language. And when you watch the story of Becky Shaw , the latest theatrical brain child of Obie Award-winning playwright Gina Gionfriddo, you’ll cringe right along with the characters onstage. A Pulitzer Prize finalist and smash hit that premiered Off-Broadway earlier this year, Becky Shaw watches two adults struggle through a most unfortunate evening that includes an unexpected visit to the police station, a failed orgasm and many more calamitous surprises. Bring a date to the comedy thriller The New York Times called “as engrossing as it is ferociously funny.”
Thursdays-Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Sundays, 7:30 p.m. Starts: Oct. 22. Continues through Nov. 21, 2010
