From the company flier:
"Marietta Theatre Company is pleased to debut its third production of the 2017-2018 season -- First Date. A romantic musical comedy written by Austin Winsberg, First Date will run from February 9 through February 24 at the Lyric Studio on the Square. The award-winning play wittingly depicts the desires and desperations of dating, starting from the awkward first date -- all put to the score of Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner.
Since its original production at Seattle’s A Contemporary Theater in 2012, First Date has brought the all-too-real challenge of looking for love in the city to commiserating audiences around the world. Starring Ashley Prince as Casey and Chris Saltalamacchio as Aaron, both making their Marietta Theatre Company debuts, hopeful and hopeless romantics alike will revel in this relatable off-Broadway show."
If your friend or family member set you up on a blind date, what would you do? How would you react? A very irreverant presentation of the "what not to do" aspects of a first date. A small cast of 7 people present what would happen "if". Not something to show to the younger set (some language, innuendos, etc), but definitely a great show for adults to check out.
The cast did an awesome job. My daughter and I were impressed by their skills. John Jenkins and his roll as Reggie (the bail out call) was hilarious. He expressed versatility by performing multiple rolls during the performance. Becky Ittner was great with her rolls as the sister, grandmother, facebook, and more. A wonderfully talented cast.
