About the Show
Depravity and enlightenment, protection and liberation, love bombing / situationships / ghosting / et al – “Only Ugly Guys” delivers a stark reflection on how affection manifests in a non-committal, algorithm-fueled culture. Told through four short stories from the unique, unreliable perspective of each character, “Only Ugly Guys” experiments with what theater can be, using modern romance as its medium.
Reviews from World Premiere (2024):
"See the funny, clever, inventive, and very modern Only Ugly Guys at Open Eye Theater in South Minneapolis...and get a glimpse of the next generation of theater makers." - Cherry and Spoon
"Hilarious and deeply introspective, the play centers around the relationships between the four characters as they search for love and connections while navigating the struggles of dating and modernlife. " - MN Daily
