Rebecca Gilman's Boy Gets Girl is a searing examination of a loss of personal freedom that arises from a seemingly benign situation. Named by Time Magazine as the #1 Play on their Top Ten List of 2001, this masterful new work by the acclaimed author of Spinning Into Butter presents a frightening, true-to-life look at the dangers that can lie in wait for those searching for love in the city. Boy Gets Girl tells a chilling story of a woman whose life is irrevocably changed because of a blind date.

Lawson Taitte, Dallas Morning News:
"...the actors playing these roles all turn in beautifully calibrated performances...Regan Adair does his best work to date as the magazine's cool, suave new writer...John S. Davies is as comfortable as a 10-year-old jacket...Grant James [is] wonderfully watchable."
Mark Lowry, Fort Worth Star Telegram:
"Rhonda Blair, who directs the show for Echo Theatre, goes one step further by using fluid pacing and getting deep-reaching portrayals from her actors."
Echo's Audience:
"It's such a treat to see recent plays by current playwrights such as Rebecca Gilman. Boy Gets Girl was wonderfully cast and performed. I've recommended the production to my students. Perhaps Churchill's FAR AND AWAY or Nelson's MADAME MELVILLE next season?"
"I saw Boy Gets Girl and I loved it --- but now I'm afraid to date!"
"We thought it was a really good play and the actors were great - very believable. The message was scary because it was so real - we were hoping he would get caught -even hit on the head w/a frying pan - but that's not always the case. People have to move away - new name, etc. just because of one casual beer w/a stranger. We always enjoy Echo. Keep up the good work."
"Another stunning performance! It had me guessing until the end."
"Your production of Boy Gets Girl last night was splendid. The acting, directing and staging were professional and highly entertaining. The best play I've seen in some time. Thank You!"
"Excellent script, universally strong performances by the actors and smart set design. Thank you!"
"Loved Boy Gets Girl so much! Production could be envy of others in NYC or London. Congratulations!"
"Grrreat play. Grrreat cast. Grrrrrrreat acting. Grrrreat time."
"The last 4 plays I've seen in town have been your group and you continue to amaze me and produce such TOP quality shows!"
"When you came out to the audience and said that Boy Gets Girl was going to run 2.5 hours long, a part of me went - 'yikes, I won't get home till 11pm?' BUT....I forgot all about that in the first scene! The show played so beautifully I forgot about time and space."
"Thanx sooooo much for a wonderful performance and keep up the great work!"
