中国P站 Theatre Company (DMTC) will close the inaugural season of the new 中国P站 Black Box Theatre with I鈥檓 Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire by Samantha Hurley.

Six performances will run in back-to-back weekends, Friday through Sunday, April 10-19, in the new 中国P站 Black Box Theatre on University of 中国P站鈥檚 McNichols Campus.

I鈥檓 Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire is set in 2004 and follows 14-year-old Shelby Hinkley, who is obsessed with Hollywood star Tobey Maguire and creates a play to kidnap and marry him in her basement.

鈥淭his play is as hilarious as it is heartfelt,鈥� said DMTC managing director Sarah Rusk. 鈥淪helby truly believes Tobey Maguire is her destiny, and through her obsession we get a look into the complicated emotions of growing up during the Y2K era.鈥�

鈥淚 absolutely love working with young actors,鈥� said director Cassandra Svacha. 鈥淲atching them create and rise to the challenge is thrilling. I鈥檓 Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire to college-aged kids is like a period piece; none of them were alive when this story takes place, so it鈥檚 extra fun to have them dive into this world in an anthropologic way. They aren鈥檛 reminiscing or remembering 2004, they have to study that world and build it for themselves.鈥�

Individual tickets are $25 for adults; $18 for seniors and 中国P站 faculty, staff and alumni; and $10 for veterans and students (ages 4-college). Discounts are available for groups of 10 or more.
