Synopsis

Depravity and enlightenment, protection and liberation, love bombing / situationships / ghosting / et al – “Only Ugly Guys” delivers a stark reflection on how affection manifests in a non-committal, algorithm-fueled culture. Told through four short stories from the unique, unreliable perspective of each character, “Only Ugly Guys” experiments with what theater can be, using modern romance as its medium. Placing the audience in the role of voyeur, confidante, enabler, and friend, these scenarios interrogate, “When you have access to anything, what do you really want?”

Audience Quotes

“S-Tier. Slam dunk. Ought to be award-winning. The characters are deliciously messy and true and interesting. And the theatermaking is incredibly clear and crisp and fun. We were gasping and giggling and cringing and sighing and screaming. Add this to your Pride itinerary. Add all the creatives to the top of your priority list. Talented individuals who came together to create something so special. Put plain and simply, this is good theater. :)”
