It's the story Hollywood has glamorized, publicized, and bombarded us with--how it all began for the two young men, now famous for their on-again-off-again romances and their big-budget smashes and flops. It started with a script for Good Will Hunting, slaved over by the bright young dreamers in their run-down apartment in 1996. Or was it? This hilarious, scathing play takes us back to the pivotal moment when the finished script that would change their lives...falls from the ceiling while they were working on something else. Mindy Kaling and Brenda Wither's Matt & Ben is presented by the Accokeek Creek Theatre Company.

The opening act is a short play by Bob Bartlett, xphiles unrequited. Desperate to escape the streets of Washington, DC, and the dark shadow of the Bush administration, two homeless men reimagine their lives in the context of the long-running television show, The X-Files.
