Isnt It Romantic

Up Next On Stage...

“Isn’t It Romantic”
by Wendy Wasserstein

Directed by Nancy Storch

Isn’t It Romantic takes place in Manhattan during the mid-1980s and follows two former classmates – the bookish, aspiring writer Janie Blumberg and her tall, gorgeous best friend Harriet Cornwall – as they attempt to establish themselves in the “real world” after graduation from college. Both strive to gain independence from their parents and establish their own identities. In Janie's case, this leads to her involvement with a young Jewish doctor who calls her “Monkey”; Harriet assails the world of big business and has an affair with her ambitious (and married) boss. Fast-paced, inventive, alternately hilarious and touchingly revealing scenes tell us their parallel stories with uncommon wit and wisdom. The outcome is a heightened awareness which, while not providing all the answers, goes a long way toward achieving the maturity and self-assuredness that they both so desperately desire.

Featuring: Madi Houff, Jess Eppler, Jed Bulgrien, Michael Collins, Rachel Barton, Pete Matthews, Gini Brosius and Fadi Greene
