HAYS, Kan. –“Significant Other,” an American play by Joshua Harmon, will be presented at 7:30 p.m. at Fort Hays State University’s Felten-Start Theatre tonight and Saturday.

The play, which premiered off-Broadway in 2015 followed by a Broadway production in spring 2017, follows the search of Jordan Berman for true love to be in love, but he has not found the right man.

Until he meets Mr. Right, he wards off lonely nights with his trio of close girlfriends. But as singles’ nights turn into bachelorette parties, Jordan discovers that the only thing harder than finding love is supporting the loved ones around you when they do.

Chicago Tribune critic Chris Jones wrote, “Significant Other is both a good night out – a show ideal for a Friday night with pals after a few drinks – and a quite sophisticated exploration of the complex and changing dynamic between gay men and the women who love them. A black comedy about a painful transition that hits many of us urbanites in our late 20s or early 30s and goes a long way toward explaining why weddings can be such fraught affairs for anyone stuck in a tux or matching crinoline.”

This play contains adult language and subject matter that some may find offensive.

All seating is unreserved. Tickets are $5 at the door.
