A wildly funny and heartbreakingly absurd comedy, The Marriage of Bette and Boo follows one couple’s journey from hopeful wedding day to emotional unraveling—all told through 33 sharp, fast-moving scenes. Playwright Christopher Durang masterfully blends dark humor and biting irony as he exposes the chaos behind the façade of the perfect American family. With unforgettable characters and razor-sharp wit, this acclaimed satire takes a bold look at the comedy—and tragedy—of life’s most painful moments. 

Content Warning: Rated R for adult content and language. This play contains alcoholism, domestic abuse, and stillbirths.
