Celebration Presents FOUR PLAY As Part Of Its 'Celebrating New Works' Series
Celebration Theatre presents as part of its New Works Reading Series, FOUR PLAY by Jake Brunger, directed by Brooke Seguin and performing one night only on Tuesday, February 20 at 7:30pm at The Coast Playhouse, 8325 Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood.
FOUR PLAY is a new comedy about sex and relationship in the 21st century. Twentysomethings Rafe and Pete have hit a rut. After seven-and-a-half years, their lack of sexual experience is driving them apart. So when they proposition mutual friend Michael to help out with their problem- knowing full well Michael has his own partner, Andrew - what seems like a simple solution spirals out of control. Remarkably timely, FOUR PLAY asks the very tough question: What do we REALLY want?
