Bad Dates
[Theater]
Shimberg Playhouse, Tampa

Theresa Rebeck’s one-woman show, which premiered Off Broadway in 2003, is about Haley Walker, a Texas transplant living in Manhattan with her teenage daughter. And lots of shoes. Six hundred, in fact. Having found a measure of success in the big city as a restaurateur, single Haley is ready to dip her feet and their fashionable footwear back into the dating pool. From her bedroom, Haley addresses the audience as she prepares for or reacts to her titular encounters with the opposite sex. Rebeck weaves in her heroine’s encounters with Romanian gangsters and Tibetan Buddhists while Haley reveals her wit, frailties and layers of complexity during a succession of humorous monologues. Can Rothert pull off her tall order? As they say, "If the shoe fits…" Visit stageworkstheatre.org for more info.
