Zipper Factory to Host One Night Only Performance of 'Get Some'
You know you want some play. Come see GET SOME, the play everyone has been talking about after a sold-out workshop production in April 2008. It's a timeless tale of boy-meets-boy-then-meets-girl-then-screws-over-boy-while-girl-screws-over-other-girl-and-then-everyone-else-for-good-measure! Performance is one night only, October 21st, at the Zipper Theater.
Written by Megan Cossey and Stephen Schulman and directed by Schulman, GET SOME promises a satisfying night of shallow gay comedy, without a single closet-case or scary angel in sight. Everyone gets some lovin', no one dies and, most importantly, nary a lesson is learned by our fearless, sometimes-clothed characters.
Naomi (Yue Xu), an ambitious photo-journalist, finds herself out on the street after her girlfriend Corey (Mariah Freda) does one too many downward dogs with their yoga instructor. Peter (Paul Gregg), a struggling actor, needs a roommate to help pay the bills at the suggestion of BJ (Sam Osheroff), his older lover and the driving force behind NYC gay politics. Naomi moves in and drama ensures as everyone tries to get some of what they think should be coming to them.
GET SOME takes its inspiration from the gritty streets of Chelsea and the Lower East Side, with much of the action occurring at the infamous Mrs. Wong's Noodle Shoppe and Lesbian Bookstore and Peter's crappy Bushwick apartment.
The Zipper Factory Theater is located at 336 W. 37th Street. Tickets at $20 each can be ordered online at www.thezipperfactory.com or call (212) 352-3101. For dinner and drinks: The Zipper Factory Tavern: (212) 695-4600.
