Bradshaw & Beckett Date in 'Every Girl Gets Her Man' at Soho Playhouse

Jouissance Theater is pleased to announce their inaugural production: Emma Sheanshang's dark comedy Every Girl Gets Her Man. Carrie Bradshaw goes on a blind date with Samuel Beckett in this new dark comedy about love, friendship and the redemptive power of delusion. Performances will be at Soho Playhouse's Huron Club, located at 15 Vandam Street. (between 6th Avenue and Varick).  Previews will begin on Monday, March 3 with the opening date scheduled for Sunday March 9, continuing through Sunday, March 30.

"Every Girl Gets Her Man tells the story of five young women on the prowl for the perfect man, and how they get taken for the ride of their lives in the process.  This dark comedy about love, friendship and the redemptive power of delusion will be familiar to fans of 'Sex and the City,' but playwright Emma Sheanshang aims to turn audience expectations inside out with her own brand of absurdity," describe press notes.

The cast for features some of the most attractive young actresses in New York, as well as one handsome young actor to play all the male roles: Danny Bernardy (New York Theatre Workshop, "One Life to Live"), Cass Buggé (FringeNYC, The Kitchen), Amy Flanagan (I Was Tom Cruise at The Connelly Theatre, Sex And The City: The Movie), Anna Margaret Hollyman (Workshop Theatre, Manhattan Rep), Chloe Whiteford (The Bronx is Burning, "Law and Order: SVU"), and Sarah Wilson (New York debut).
