Act One follows Joe who has been so dazzled by a woman he briefly met in passing that he now sees her face in every face he sees. Embarking on a quest to find his mystery girl, Joe eventually encounters the police who, it seems, are also searching for this same woman. Who she is or why the police want her, Joe doesn't' know, but he eventually does uncover one important fact: Her name is Destiny. Act Two follows Destiny who is seeking a man she was so dazzled by that she now sees his face in every face she sees. Little does anyone know that Destiny is also the Vigil Ant, a would-be super hero seeking justice in a world as she also seeks her Joe.Andy Batt, Artistic Director: "This is a truly unique look at the concept of love at first sight. I have not read such a well-written two-actor show. The dialogue is funny and tight and the concept is tremendous. With just two actors playing all the different characters in the play, there's no doubt that this one was right up MadLab's alley."
Michelle Batt, Director: "We all have read about love at first sight in folklore and Shakespeare but nothing compares to the story of Joe and Destiny. A Girl Named Destiny is a comedy of two people who see each other once, for a brief moment, and then start seeing the other in everyone they meet. Destiny brings back together one of the best on stage couples of MadLab history, Jennifer Barlup and Andy Batt. From inspectors, to superheros to star crossed soul mates, these two actors will create a night of fun, comedy and multiple characters that you must see. Will Destiny and Joe find each other? You know you want to see how this ends."Videos
