Plot
Theresa Bedell is a successful reporter in New York who loves her work and the life she has made for herself. A relationship with a man would complete the picture and so she agrees to go on a blind date with a friend of a friend. Tony is attractive and funny, but Theresa isn't sure, and after a second date she's convinced they have nothing in common and sees no point in continuing the relationship. Tony, though, thinks otherwise. What at first seems like persistence on his part grows into obsession, and Theresa's annoyance with Tony turns to terror as he begins to threaten her and those around her. Ultimately, Theresa must fight to save herself from being erased by Tony's actions. Set in 2000, eighteen years before #metoo and #timesup, Boy Gets Girl uses the story of what happens when a blind date turns into a living nightmare to examine stalking, sexism, and the nature of the idea of romantic pursuit.
All ethnicities encouraged to audition.
