So… are you coming over or not?

Dang, dating sure is hard these days. But don’t worry, this show will flirt its way into your heart and hit like a one night stand! A hot and loaded experience brings the new age of dating to life onstage. Opposites who attract, David and Jenny answer the NY Times “36 questions that lead to love.”

 “I’ve long admired Winkler’s singular voice—haunting and sharp with an undeniable tenderness” – Brooklyn Rail

Stick around after Thursday and Sunday performances for a 30-minute discussion with Shotgun’s creative team. We’ll dive into the play’s themes and aesthetics, and we’d love to hear your thoughts. It’s a chance to connect, reflect, and engage with fellow audience members.

What’s THIS?

ASL-INTERPRETED performances

We’ve partnered with Velvet Hands Interpreting Services to provide ASL (American Sign Language)-interpretation for this performance. ASL interpreters will be visible from every seat in the theater, with the specific location varying depending on the production. To access exclusive seats with the closest views of the interpreters, please reach out to the box office, or select the red “ASL Only” seats when choosing your seats.

AUDIO-DESCRIBED PERFORMANCE
Sunday, JUNE 1

What’s THIS?

audio-described performances

During these performances, blind and low vision patrons may use headset devices provided by Gravity Access to listen to a live audio description of the show. The narration guides the listener through the performance with concise, objective descriptions of new scenes, lighting, costumes, facial expressions / body language, and “sight gags,” all slipped in between portions of the actors’ dialogue or songs.

For sighted patrons, these performances are the same as any other evening.

HAPTIC TOURS

Pre-show haptic tours allow blind and low-vision patrons to experience the space, performers, costumes, and props through touch, their own movement, hearing, and kinesthetic senses. Usually lasting 20 to 30 minutes, these tours lay a multi-sensory foundation to support the audio description. Doors for pre-show Haptic Tours open at 12:45 PM for check-in. We recommend arriving early as tours begin promptly at 1 PM. The audio-described performances start at 2 PM.

MASKED-AUDIENCE PERFORMANCE
Sunday, June 8

What’s THIS?

masked-audience performances

We understand that there are many members of our community who prefer to gather in masked spaces. To make our performances accessible to as many people as possible, we offer select Sunday “Masked Audience” performances. Food and drink will still be available at our concessions and can be enjoyed outside, but there is no eating or drinking inside the theater during these performances as all audience members, ushers, and staff will be required to wear masks. Performers will be unmasked while on stage during the performance.
