This captivating drama strikes at the heart of our modern obsession with physical appearance. Follow four friends as they grapple with love, lust, and failing relationships, navigating a world where being "pretty" carries more weight than it should. The play serves as a raw dissection of vanity, insecurity, and the fragile mirrors we use to define our self-worth.
In a society that demands perfection, what happens to those who are just "regular"? Can we ever truly escape the consequences of our own actions, or walk away with the fairytale romance we all dream of? Reasons To Be Pretty forces us to ask: is honesty ever truly worth the cost?
Witness the internal and external conflicts of Neil LaBute’s acclaimed drama in the intimate setting of the Assembly Roxy Upstairs. Performances run nightly at 7:30 PM from April 1st through April 4th. Book now to avoid disappointment!
