Seeking. . .

Got a date this weekend? Want to impress him or her? I highly recommend taking your date to Seeking. . . , the newest play from Burlington, Vermont's own Heat and Hot Water Productions. With nearly every element of dating exposed — from unrequited crushes to hot threesome one-night stands (yes, this is "dating" for some of us) — Seeking. . . is a great "date" show. Lots of laughs and some touching moments, as well. The best part? It features the Seven Days personals pages throughout!

Heat and Hot Water describes Seeking. . . as "A romantic comedy about missed connections, true love, and discreet encounters that explores the funny, outrageous, sometimes heart-breaking ways people reach out to each other through the personal ads." See? Perfect date material. Plus, if you've been looking for a way to start a "discreet encounters" conversation with your partner, Seeking. . . could get the ball rolling.

Of course, if you're single, I also recommend seeing the play. Other singles might be in the mood to mingle at the Skinny Pancake afterwards.

Seeking. . . is playing at the Waterfront Theater, but you can get your tickets at the Flynn Box Office. You can also get tickets at the door, but I hear it's selling fast.

Have fun,
MM

While i might be a tad biased since the director's my sig. other, i feel compelled to say that - I've seen the production twice, and I'm super exited to see it again on closing night (sat).

I'm generally very critical of theater, i find the artifice of the stage to detract from the emotional impact of the performances, and only amazing players ever seem to get through to me - that being said, by half way through my first viewing i was rapt! Laughing and holding my breath, sighing with shared empathy and applauding like a fool... i was very surprised - i think anyone out there will be.

I highly recommend it and agree with you Mistress; a great date play, but also just a great play to see if you want to share in our common humanness.
