Griffin Theatre Company’s “Girls & Boys”
Griffin Theatre Company is proud to announce the midwest premiere of Girls & Boys,written by Dennis Kelly and directed by Robin Witt, July 11 – August 16 at Bramble Arts Loft, 5545 N Clark St.
When a woman meets the man of her dreams, their whirlwind romance promises a future full of happiness and fulfillment. Their lives are painted with the vibrancy of passion, success and the joys of parenthood. Yet, as their ambitions escalate and subtle fractures begin to emerge, the veneer of their idyllic existence starts to crumble, leading to the unimaginable. A powerful and unflinching exploration of love and the dark truths that lie beneath, Girls & Boys is told with biting humor and raw emotion–a masterclass in storytelling that’s equal parts hilarious and harrowing.
Girls & Boys will be performed by Cynthia Marker as “Woman,” understudied by Andrea Uppling.
