Ongoing

Boy Gets Girl. Through May 23. Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m. All but the first Saturday, also at 2 p.m. "Boy Gets Girl presents a frightening glimpse into what can lie in wait for those searching for love in the city. Gilman's brilliantly written play is an acute observation on a very modern nightmare. On a blind date, girl meets boy, boy becomes fixated, girl is forced to change her life, and even herself, in order to escape the relentless pursuit of the boy. This play explores the sexual and political fine line between what is romance and what is considered to be obsession." By the Theater Alliance. Tickets normally $20; free if you live between 8th Street and 19th Street NE, between C and M streets NE. (Pick up free tickets at least 30 minutes before the show). At H Street Playhouse, 1365 H St. NE. 800-494-8497 or 396-2125 or http://www.theateralliance.com/Season.htm. §
