Kitchen Theatre Company is beginning its 28th Season with a musical! Girlfriend, with book by Todd Almond and music & lyrics by Matthew Sweet, takes place in the summer of 1993 in small town Nebraska.

Summer, 1993; small town Nebraska. College-bound, football playing Mike has everything figured out. At least until he meets Will, a quiet boy from his graduating class.

SYNOPSIS
One library. Two best friends. All of humanity.
Something has to burn.
In a small-town library in the deep South, two librarians maintain an unlikely close friendship, despite their many differences. But when a controversial wedding, a young queer runaway, and an ominous cyberattack come crashing through their front door, can that friendship survive?
New York moves fast, and you have to be an athlete just to keep up with the pace. If you’re not bobbing and weaving through crowds, you’re racing up subway stairs. And, if you're ever sidelined, the orthopedic specialists at NYU Langone are here to get you back on your feet.
