Blind Date

There’s nothing like the thrill of a first date...anything can happen! In the brand- new play Blind Date, you’ll experience all the excitement and awkwardness of love as Mimi, a Parisian temptress played by Rebecca Northan, goes on a blind date with a different man every night—plucked right out of the audience! Straight from critically acclaimed, sold-out runs in New York City and Toronto and produced by Kevin McCollum, this fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants show is sure to make you shriek with laughter while falling in love with Mimi and her man. Called “A flight of theatrical fancy that is absolutely magical” by the Toronto Star, this “must-see performance” (part burlesque, part Lucille Ball, part Match.com) will delight men and women alike.
