Dobama Theatre’s 2018-2019 mainstage season concludes with the regional premiere of This, running April 26-May 26 and directed by Nathan Motta.

This is a smart, witty, un-romantic comedy that captures the uncertain steps of a circle of friends backing their way into middle age. Jane, the story’s protagonist, is a promising poet without a muse and a single mother without lessons to pass along. With her dating life in shambles, she goes to a friend’s dinner party where she’s set up with a handsome French doctor. But after the meal and a few glasses of wine, a party game goes wrong and everything in her life becomes more complicated.

The New York Times calls This “…beautifully conceived, confidently executed and wholly accessible work…Its confused but lovable characters are drawn with a fine focus and a piercing emotional depth; the dialogue sparkles with exchanges as truthful as they are clever.”

This features Yan Tual, Rachel Lee Kolis, Treva Offutt, Abraham Adams and Craig Joseph.
