Scott Richard Foster and Antoinette LaVecchia will star in the national tour of Annabelle Gurwitch and Jeff Kahn’s You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up. The tour will kick-off with an engagement at the Blumenthal Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, October 13-November 6. Darren Katz directs.

Gurwitch and Kahn adapted the piece from their memoir of the same title, which draws upon their own marriage for inspiration. The show takes a humorous look at a relationship that seemed doomed by opposing personalities from the start. After trials and tribulations the couple learns to navigate the conflicts that come with romance, money, and children by embracing each other’s differences, taking on parenting as a competitive sport, and dropping out of couple’s therapy.

Further tour stops will include Rochester, NY (November 17-January 29); Buffalo, NY (January 31-February 12); Mesa, AZ (February 23-26); Des Moines, IA (March 7-18), and Milwaukee, WI (April 26-29), with more dates to be announced.
