Unlucky in love twenty somethings conclude the solution to their relationship problems is to stay single, as they mingle through the bars of Wrigleyville. The Guide to Being Single, a new book from an anonymous author, gives you rules for screwing without getting screwed: You never call or text. You always go to their place. And most importantly, you never break the rules. But what if the fun of rules is breaking them?

Cast includes: Remy Zaken (BWAY: Spring Awakening original cast), Eric LaJuan Summers (BWAY: Motown the Musical, Elf the Musical, Aida), David Perlman (BWAY: Baby It's You!), Lana Neuman, Melanie Brook, Tim Murray, and Ellen Zolezzi (OFF BWAY: Cagney).

The New York Musical Theatre Festival nurtures the creation, production, and public presentation of stylistically, thematically, and culturally diverse new musicals to ensure the future vitality of musical theatre. Now in its twelfth year, the Festival is the premier musical theatre event in the world. The preeminent site for launching new musicals and discovering new talent, the Festival provides an affordable platform for artists to mount productions that reach their peers, industry leaders, and musical theatre fans. More than 90 Festival shows have gone on to productions on and Off-Broadway, in regional theaters in all 50 states, and in more than 20 countries worldwide.
