Girlfriend 1
In between rainstorms, you can tell it's spring here in the beautiful Bay Area. And in spring, as they say, a young man's fancy turns to love.

How perfect, then, that our next show is a rock musical romance. The buzz is building for the world premiere of Girlfriend, a new show wound around the pop-perfect songs of Matthew Sweet's legendary 1991 album.

Let us take you into the world of Girlfriend — set in Nebraska in 1993 — as two young men, just out of high school, realize that they're in love.

Director Les Waters and playwright Todd Almond invite you to check out their sweet and sexy Girlfriend in this video presentation.

What a mood setting video. Not only did it take me back in time, it had me tapping my feet and the music continued in my mind after the video was over.

Thanks for the trip!
