~ Hunting for their big break, can Matt Damon and Ben Affleck find Good Will? ~

Don't miss this all-women production of MATT AND BEN, written by Mindy Kaling and Brenda Withers at The Commons Theatre, Nov 2 - 4!

ABOUT THE SHOW

It's 1995. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are unknown struggling actors and the script for Good Will Hunting has just fallen from the sky, into their laps.

This fast-paced buddy comedy follows these two talented basic bros - portrayed by two women - as they face a dilemma: If they take this gift from above, will anyone believe a couple of nobodies could write an Oscar-worthy screenplay?

In this send-up of Hollywood's most beloved friendship - and the play that launched Mindy Kaling's Hollywood career - two leading women tell the story of how a friendship is threatened when there's only room for one leading man.
