On Wednesday, Aubrey Plaza joined TODAY, where she spoke about Atlantic Theater Company's Let’s Love!, now in previews at the Linda Gross Theater. Plaza stars as Susan in the show, which is a trio of one-act plays. She says that her role was more or less written for her by Ethan Coen.
"He said to me, 'I wrote this part that I think I wrote for you, but I didn't realize it," she explained. The two previously worked together in the 2025 film Honey Don't. Plaza continued: "The part is very funny. She is a very intense woman...When I first read it, I was crying laughing. It's totally ridiculous."
Also on the show, Plaza spoke about her third children’s book, Luna and the Witch Throw a Halloween Party and looked back at her audition for Parks and Recreation. Watch the full interview now.
