Facebook Chat-Written ADVENTURES OF BOY AND GIRL Set for FringeNYC, Begin. 8/14

While completing high school together at Hunter in Manhattan, friends Alec Grossman and Rachel Kaly set out to write a play. Today, they have grown into college students, and their play, the aptly-named The Adventures of Boy and Girl, has grown along with them: it is entering its second production at the New York Fringe Festival following a performance in 2011 at the Stella Adler Theater in Hollywood.

The play tells the story of a recently broken-up couple, the comically high-strung Trish and the laidback loser Rick. Told through a series of interrupted monologues, the two characters recount their relationship's pitfalls and try to determine the root cause of its dissipation.

Grossman and Kaly drafted the play through Facebook chat, the social media network's instant-messaging mechanism. The influence of this groundbreaking, industrious, and truly Millennial means of writing is evident in the plot's structure and means of character development.

The recently-announced cast is comprised of Margy Love (Trish) and Matthew Goodrich (Rick). Love, a Williams College graduate, is the veteran of New York theatre companies and training programs such as Tugboat Collective, The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, and Stella Adler. Goodrich recently understudied several roles on Broadway in Roundabout Theatre Company's "Picnic" and in Lincoln Center Theatre's "The Nance" starring Nathan Lane. Directed by Patrick Vassel, both actors make their New York Fringe Festival debut in The Adventures of Boy and Girl.

The new production will show between August 14th to 25th at the Kraine Theater at 85 E. 4th Street in Manhattan. Dates and times will be announced on the show's website, http://boyandgirlfringe.webs.com, once they have been released from the Fringe Festival.
