GUY STUFF
a new comedy by Rich Orloff
(5 m., 2 w.)
In September, 1979, a young man just out of college moves in with four guys who share a group house in a Chicago suburb. The newcomer is cautious, introspective, highly judgmental, and insecure in his manhood. The other guys are loud, selfish, fraternity-types who enjoy beer, drugs, female mud wrestling, and watching crap on TV. Although the newcomer judges them harshly, they seem to have a lot more fun than he does.
A cross between THE ODD COUPLE and ANIMAL HOUSE, Rich Orloff’s new play GUY STUFF is a comic exploration of the questions young men face about male identity, set at a time when the roles of both men and women were changing, and the rules were no longer as clear as they once had been.
GUY STUFF has been developed at University of West Florida’s New Voices festival and the Lark Theatre Company in New York. It has not yet been produced.
