Synopsis: | Ty Greene is a normal guy with three very big problems. In an unprecedented (for him' run of promiscuity, Ty has managed to impregnate three women in the span of one week: His ex-girlfriend, his 40-something married next-door neighbor, and his 18 year-old student. In this edgy comedy by playwright Rajiv Joseph, Ty's problems illuminate every triumph and failure of his life, and as the women in his world converge and figure out what's happened, Ty realizes that his life is adrift, and that he only has a limited time to try to piece it back together. All This Intimacy, which according to the New York Times has 'a certain can't-look-away pull,' is a comedy about friendship and lust and how the two don't mix. | |||||

| Parts: | Male | 3 | Female | 2 | ||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | Receiving rave reviews for both its New York and Los Angeles productions, Rajiv Joseph's Huck & Holden tells the story of Navin, an Indian college student who's fresh off the boat and trying to remain focused on his studies while the temptations of America and college life start beating down his door. When Navin falls for Michelle, a young African-American woman, he finds that his perceptions of the world begin to expand- and crumble. Called '&a comingof-age story with comedy, pathos, and a distinct emotional core,' by offoffline.com, Huck & Holden is a romantic comedy that wrestles with cultural stereotypes, racism, The Kama Sutra, The Catcher in the Rye, and how losing our innocence doesn't always make us wiser. | |||||
