 NoHo Arts District

 Glamgical

"Warmly funny and genuinely memorable... This excellent play centers around two people dipping their reluctant toes in the insipid dating pool... It’s a very sweet concept made all the sweeter by some very clever writing... some really funny setups and quite brilliant one liners."
