by Neil LaBute

Some Girl(s), directed by Amy Fox (Verona), features a soon-to-be-married writer, feeling guilty about past relationship transgressions, who embarks on a cross-country trip ostensibly to make amends. As he revisits the ghosts of girlfriends past, the story takes on a darker edge that is at once loathsome, deliciously evil, and funny. New York Magazine said, “Some Girl(s) follows the Neil LaBute recipe—bad behavior with a twist, served ice cold—to a fault.”

The cast features Seth Kaplan (River Vale), Allyssa Hynes (Belleville), Lisa Vasfalio (Roselle), Angela Grippo (Fair Lawn), Megan Hatem (Denville), and Brittany Haydock (Glen Ridge).
