Bad Dates is a simple but sublime rom-com that’s super easy to produce and loaded with laughs! If you love Check Please, then you’ll love this series of quick-witted and quirky duet scenes via a string of dubious dinner dates that require nothing but a table and two chairs for a set.
Jill and Greg grew up together and have been happily together since Greg awkwardly tried to kiss Jill in the fifth grade. But a dozen years later, the sparkle in their relationship has dulled for the two young 20-somethings. They reluctantly agree it would be good to see other people.
Well, it might be good — great, in fact — for the audience, but definitely not for Jill and Greg. When their dates turn out to be narcissists, manipulators, obsessives, and imposters, the couple realizes you sometimes don’t appreciate what you’ve got until it’s gone. Luckily, there’s a happy ending in this funny, feel-good show that will leave everyone smiling!
