Reasons to see Reasons to be Pretty

Greg and I are going to see Reasons to be Pretty by Neil LaBute tomorrow night at the Alliance Hertz stage and I am excited because:

1. I love Neil LaBute. I just do. I fell in love with his writing in college when, in a particularly great scene study class, I was given a part from The Shape of Things. Love his writing, love his exploration of our society’s idiosyncrasies, love his humor, love his dark side, love it all.

2. The name of the theatre company is great: Pinch n’ Ouch. I think it’s funny and cute all on it’s own, but, as a student of the Meisner acting technique, which calls for organic reactions to imaginary circumstances, I think the name is brilliant.
