LL Production Company's production of Matt & Ben, written by Mindy Kaling (The Office) and Brenda Withers, is returning to Davis Square Theatre this summer for its one-year anniversary. After a continuous sold out run at The Riot Theatre in Jamaica Plain and a limited run in New Orleans, Matt & Ben will play again at 255 Elm Street in Somerville on August 26th at 10pm and 27th at 7pm.
The play takes audiences through a fantastic journey of what if the screenplay of Good Will Hunting fell out of the sky and into Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's lap. Matt and Ben spend one long Saturday in Somerville fighting, reminiscing, and hallucinating a lot more than normal when confronted with the screenplay they already know will change their lives. Matt & Ben is one wicked funny show that will make an audience feel like they're right in the same living room as these young Boston boys (played by girls).
Matt & Ben features Lauren Robinson of Somerville, in the title role of Matt, and Libby Schap of Chelsea, playing the other half of this bromance, Ben. Joining them at the Davis Square Theater are production manager Norma Heller of Brighton and lighting and Sound Designers Tim Fairley of Chelsea and Dan Chapman of Somerville.
Matt & Ben is produced by LL Production Company, a company focused on highlighting funny women. Matt & Ben has been well received during its monthly performances at The Riot Theater, with audiences calling it "hilarious" and "perfect for any fan of Matt and Ben or Good Will Hunting."
Shows: August 26th at 10pm and August 27th at 7pm, Tickets $20. Tickets for all performances are now on sale. Tickets available for $20 online at bit.ly/mattandben and $25 at the door. Davis Square Theater has a bar on site and all shows are 21+.
