Oakland Park Blvd. Fort Lauderdale, FL 33334 Tickets $30 www.risingactiontheatre.com (954) 561-2225 Rising Action Theatre presents the Florida Premiere of a new play by Roberto Aguirre-Sacassa, about the date from hell. What if your perfect new boyfriend turned out to be Satan? Late one rainy night in Baltimore, Andrew—an affable graduate student researching the works of Dostoevsky—meets a handsome stranger named Jack. The two immediately hit it off and start dating, despite the fact that Andrew already has a super-duper boyfriend and that Jack has the Mark of the Beast—you know, 666—burned into his forehead. "Are you a satanist?" Andrew asks Jack. "No," he replies sheepishly. "But my father…he's the Devil." Intrigued-slash-slightly apprehensive (and against the urgings of his best gal-pal Bernadette), Andrew does his best to make a go of it with Jack. Until, as this seriously entertaining comedy unspools, Andrew slowly begins to realize, with mounting dread and horror—and, always, an undefeatable sense of humor—that Jack isn't the Devil's son at all. On the contrary, he's something far, far worse…truly, a boyfriend of the damned. Performances run thru March 15, 2009. "…a smart, hip comedy…a scarily hilarious summer delight." —NY Post. "
