Crying
on
TELevision
4 actors // 2 hours
After a chance meeting, Mackenzie realizes that she’s seen Ellison somewhere before—as a contestant on a reality dating show from 10 years earlier. Struck by the girl she remembers from the decade-old clip, Mackenzie decides they should be friends and quickly gets caught up in an escalating series of hijinks to make that happen. Mackenzie’s quest pulls in Chris, her brother’s ex who is doing his best to be a weird loner, and Taffy, an amateur sleuth who never met a stranger, as the group wrestle with life’s greatest mystery: how to make friends as an adult.
Crying on Television is damn good… One-liners and zingers come at a rapid clip. The opening night audience seemed to struggle to catch its breath in between laughs.
