Theater: McGinn/Cazale Theater / 2162 Broadway, New York, NY, 10024
It’s summer in New England and every weekend is someone else’s engagement party. The wildflowers, specialty cocktails, and artisanal appetizers are totally Instagram-worthy, but the people are not quite so perfect. One night, Lauren takes it into her own hands to make sure that her best friend doesn’t marry an inadequate suitor -- a drunken mistake that incites a cascade of calamities, threatening to expose all of Lauren's secrets. Engagements is a dark comedy about ugly feelings in an age of beautiful self-images.
August 4, 2016: If there’s anyone you definitely do not want at a party celebrating your coming wedding, it’s the mean-girl central character in “Engagements,” a bitingly funny but overly sour comedy by Lucy Teitler that opened on Thursday at the McGinn/Cazale Theater as part of Second Stage Theater’s Uptown summer series.
