Directed by FTT faculty member Siiri Scott, “Boy Gets Girl” tells the story of reporter Theresa Bedell, who has built a successful life in the city. Finding time for a relationship is hard and gets even harder after she agrees to a blind date with a friend of a friend. Tony is attractive and funny, but after a second date Theresa decides not to continue the relationship. Tony thinks otherwise and Theresa very quickly finds herself in a very uncomfortable role. Ultimately she must figure out how to fight back and reclaim a version of her former life or face being erased by Tony’s actions. This 2000 premiere from Gilman calls into question assumptions at the heart of romantic pursuit.
