LL Production Company's production of MATT & BEN, written by Mindy Kaling (The Office) and Brenda Withers, is going on tour this summer. After a continuous sold out run in Boston area theaters, MATT & BEN has a limited run at the Ugly Dog Saloon & BBQ in New Orleans on July 30th and 31st at 8pm.
Finally New Orleans will have an answer to the question on everyone's mind: "How did Matt Damon and Ben Affleck write the screenplay for Good Will Hunting?" It fell from the sky, of course!
In reality the screenplay might not have appeared right out of thin air, but the play takes audiences through a fantastic journey of what if it did. 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 future stars (played by girls).
MATT & BEN features Annie Barry of New Orleans, in the title role of Matt, and Libby Schap of Boston, playing the other half of this bromance, Ben. Joining them at the Ugly Dog Saloon & BBQ are director Dan Schap of New Orleans and sound/lighting designer Tim Fairley of Boston.
This continuos running show is produced by LL Production Company, a company focused on highlighting funny women. MATT & BEN has been well received during its monthly performances in Boston, with audiences calling it "hilarious" and "perfect for any fan of Matt and Ben or Good Will Hunting."
Shows: July 30th and 31st at 8PM, Tickets $15. Tickets for the July performances are now on sale. Tickets available for $15 online at bit.ly/matt-and-ben-NOLA and $20 at the door. Ugly Dog Saloon & BBQ has a bar on site and all shows are 21+.
