reasons to be pretty

By Neil Labute

Jobsite Theater's presentation of reasons to be pretty comes to Tampa May 11-29! 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 says something stupid to his best friend and when it gets back to her all hell breaks loose. A hopelessly romantic drama about the hopelessness of romance, reasons to be pretty is a gorgeous play and the final act in the trilogy including The Shape of Things and Fat Pig. Watch a trailer.

Reviews

"Dayton Sinkia gives a near-perfect performance, one so definitive that I can't imagine [Greg] played by any other actor ... Kari Goetz as Steph is also superb, passionately upset by Greg's remarks and very funny as she tries gamely to restore her lost dignity ... See it with someone you find gorgeous." - Creative Loafing

"Jobsite brought Neil Labute's Tony nominated play to life in a palpable and refreshingly forward thinking manner I've come to expect. Jobsite's wonderfully gifted cast shine once again in this alarmingly relevant production. ... I thoroughly enjoyed reasons to be pretty. -OnstageTampa

"Jobsite's reasons to be pretty has plenty of rewards. Few playwrights have LaBute's gift for dialogue, and the writing in the play's most memorable scenes are indeed masterful." - St. Pete Times

"It is tight, tense and emotionally true, and it portrays characters who actually seem part of the world that the rest of us live in." – Time Magazine
