Engagements
Opening Night: July 18, 2016
Closing: August 20, 2016
Theater: McGinn
It’s summer in New England and every weekend is someone else’s engagement party. The wildflowers, specialty cocktails, and artisanal appetizers are totally Instagram-worthy, but the people are not quite so perfect. One night, Lauren takes it into her own hands to make sure that her best friend doesn’t marry an inadequate suitor — a drunken mistake that incites a cascade of calamities, threatening to expose all of Lauren’s secrets. Engagements is a dark comedy about ugly feelings in an age of beautiful self-images.
