Directed by Assistant Professor of Theatre and Dance Patrick Reynolds, Boy Gets Girl is a gripping drama by Rebecca Gilman. Set in New York City, the story uses an incident of stalking as a backdrop to examine identity, humanity, and relationships. Theresa, a brilliant young reporter, finds herself pursued by Tony, a blind date, and what begins as a simple dinner spirals into a struggle for survival. Frustrated by the police and adrift in a workplace that can鈥檛 help her, Theresa fights to reclaim the life she once knew.
