"reasons to be pretty"
A love story about the impossibility of love, "reasons to be pretty" introduces us to Greg, who really, truly adores his girlfriend, Steph. Unfortunately, he also thinks she has a few physical imperfections, and when he casually mentions them, all hell breaks loose. But that is just the beginning.... A complicated relationship-play about four friends who are forced to confront a sea of deceit, infidelity, and betrayed trust in their journey to answer that oh-so-American question, How much is pretty worth? A hopelessly romantic drama about the hopelessness of romance, "reasons to be pretty" is a gorgeous play.
