You know you want some play. Come see GET SOME, the play everyone has been talking about after a sold-out workshop production in April 2008. It's a timeless tale of boy-meets-boy-then-meets-girl-then-screws-over-boy-while-girl-screws-over-other-girl-and-then-everyone-else-for-good-measure! Performance is one night only, October 21st, at the Zipper Theater.
Written by Megan Cossey and Stephen Schulman and directed by Schulman, GET SOME promises a satisfying night of shallow gay comedy, without a single closet-case or scary angel in sight. Everyone gets some lovin', no one dies and, most importantly, nary a lesson is learned by our fearless, sometimes-clothed characters.
Naomi (Yue Xu), an ambitious photo-journalist, finds herself out on the street after her girlfriend Corey (Mariah Freda) does one too many downward dogs with their yoga instructor. Peter (Paul Gregg), a struggling actor, needs a roommate to help pay the bills at the suggestion of BJ (Sam Osheroff), his older lover and the driving force behind NYC gay politics. Naomi moves in and drama ensures as everyone tries to get some of what they think should be coming to them.
GET SOME takes its inspiration from the gritty streets of Chelsea and the Lower East Side, with much of the action occurring at the infamous Mrs. Wong's Noodle Shoppe and Lesbian Bookstore and Peter's crappy Bushwick apartment.

With his latest West Coast premiere of Some Girl(s) at the Geffen Playhouse, LaBute has delivered yet another exceptional piece of theatre, scouring to the depths of male bashing with utter finesse. And to ensure the production is living up to the book's potential, its playwright has directed as well, although LaBute's stronger suit is directing screen rather than stage (not counting that horrendous misstep called 'The Wicker Man')...
City Lit's first venture into the world of the Bard is a gorgeously produced, pioneering undertaking for the almost 30-year old company. Twelfth Night, currently playing at the theatre's historic Edgewater Presbyterian Church location, has the tendency to get a bit long-winded at times but overall the production offers energized actors, beautiful scenery and lighting and a dream-like telling of Shakespeare's classic.
