Just a quick note to recommend a wonderful little gem of a play I saw at Manhattan Theatre Club - Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's "Based on a totally true Story". It's quirky, funny, witty, sweet and just beautifully written. The cast is terrific (especially Carson Elrod), and the direction, set design and lighting are spot-on.

Please try and go see it! See info below.

"Ethan Keene is a young playwright and comic book writer who’s on the verge of breaking through. When a veteran Hollywood producer decides she wants to turn one of his plays into a horror movie, the frenzy that follows forces him to deal with the real drama in his life — his relationships with his boyfriend and his father."
