Town & Gown Players presents MATT & BEN, an award-winning absurdist, comedic take on the origins of Good Will Hunting, by Mindy Kaling and Brenda Withers, as part of their Second Stage selection on February 27th and 28th and March 1st at the T&G Theatre on Grady Street. Tickets are only $5 and can be purchased online at townandgownplayers.org.
Starring actual besties and Town & Gown regulars, Helen DeMott and Rebekah Kenerly, Matt & Ben depicts the Hollywood golden boys – before J-Lo, before Gwyneth, before Project Greenlight, before the Oscar… before anyone actually gave a damn. When the screenplay for Good Will Hunting falls into their laps, the boys realize they’re being tested by a Higher Power.
Exploring themes of friendship, personal ambitions, and shared dreams, Matt & Ben presents an honest and hilarious depiction of the most famous bromance in Hollywood! Come embrace your inner frat boy. Let’s have some fun!
