Boys' Life

Told in a series of fast-paced, sharply etched scenes, Pulitzer-nominee 'Boy's Life' follows three former college buddies now making their way in the big city, and their misadventures with the many women in their lives. There is Jack, who is married and a father, but not above pursuing adulterous liaisons while babysitting in the park; Phil, who grows weary of not being taken seriously and concludes that being unhappy is the way things are; and Don, who risks a solid relationship with his girlfriend by sleeping with another, just to see if he can. Using humor and wit, the play dissects male narcissism and protracted adolescence, making it clear that it is actually the women who possess the qualities of "manhood" and maturity to which their deluded lovers so desperately lay claim. The show will play in rotating repertory with 'Boy Gets Girl' by Rebecca Gilman.
