The Game
Dec 5 all-day
The Warehouse Theatre

Alyssa and Homer are feeling disconnected in their marriage. Trying to start a family, Alyssa is hyper-focused on work while Homer has recently been laid off and thrown himself into an online video game. Not knowing how to navigate this new normal Alyssa does what she’s least comfortable with: start a support group for other women in the same situation. These strangers band together to devise a plan to get their partners back as they realize together, and only together, can they end this war.

A new comedy from Bekah Brunstetter, writer of THE CAKE, the digital short HOPE from LONG STORY SHORT, and nominated for a Tony Award for her book for THE NOTEBOOK musical on Broadway.

WHY SEE THIS SHOW: 

Bekah writes comedies that make you laugh and also have a surprising amount of depth and characterization. This is a lovely multi-generational ensemble comedy with just enough surprises and belly laughs to keep you on your toes.

You don’t need to know it’s based on Lysistrata, but it is. (That one is for the nerds!) But, seriously, it helps that it has a little bit of the “the more things change the more things stay the same” to it, while updating it for the modern age and wrapping it up a lovely character study about platonic and romantic contemporary relationships.

WHO SHOULD SEE THIS SHOW?  If you enjoyed THE CAKE, ODD, or a really good network sitcom like “Abbott Elementary” that is funny and zany but also has heart.
