CONSIDER THE MATCH

"Consider the Match," written and directed by Long Beach artists Maggie Boles and Katie Faris, is a series of vignettes tied together by similar themes. Making use of the absurd, surreal, and awkward, a small ensemble cast presents a series of comedic and dramatic situations. There might be blood. Probably not though.

You'll meet Izzy and Rebecca, George and Justin. You'll meet Alf and Bert, Shawna and Raegan. You'll meet Reader and Stretcher as they form complementary parts and illustrate the complex dynamics of friendship. Oh, and you'll meet the Pizza Guy. Together, all these characters will ponder their existence, try to find their places in the world, and attempt to figure out why raspberries are so damn refreshing. Friday & Saturday, August 1 & 2, 8 pm; Sunday Matinee, August 3, 2:30 pm
