Neil Labute’s Some Girls opens the season at The Pumphouse Theatre, October 27-November 6, 2010.

Your career as a writer is blossoming, your beautiful, young fiancée
is waiting to get married and rush off to Cancún by your side—so what
is your natural reaction? Well, if you're a man, it's probably to get
nervous and start calling up old girlfriends.

And so begins a single man's odyssey through four hotel rooms, as he
flies across the country in search of the perfect woman (whom he's
already broken up with). SOME GIRL(S) is a highly entertaining work
from Neil LaBute, American theater's great agent provocateur. An
outrageously funny, yet deadly serious portrait of the artist as a
young seducer; Labute casts a truthful, hilarious light on a typical
young Amrerican male as he wanders through the heart of darkness that
is himself.

“[LaBute's] view of modern men and women is unsparing... [He] is
holding up a pitiless mirror to ourselves. We may not like what we
see, but we can't deny that—if only in some dark corner of our
souls—it is there.” -Jacques le Sourd, The Journal News

“LaBute...continues to probe the fascinating dark side of
individualism... [His] great gift is to live in and to chronicle that
murky area of not-knowing, which mankind spends much of its waking
life denying.” -John Lahr, The New Yorker

QOTW - Inspiriation for Actors

"I look for a role that hopefully I feel empathy with and that I can understand and love, but also that has that challenge for me to play - a different kind of role, a different type of character, a different time period." -Kathy Bates
