Playing for Team Girlfriend

The new musical Girlfriend has its official world premiere tonight, and here's something we know to be true about great musical experiences: people desire a souvenir.

We are happy to oblige with a full line of Girlfriend gear that includes Matthew Sweet CDs and the debut album from singer/songwriter Todd Almond (whose brilliant idea it was to turn Matthew's classic album into a show).

We also have T-shirts. Oh, how we love the T-shirts.

In honor of the baseball theme running through the show, we offer a baseball jersey-style tee with tan 3/4 sleeves and "Girlfriend" across the chest (complete with a swoopy G) and the Berkeley Rep logo on the left sleeve.

A second baseball-style tee features navy blue 3/4 sleeves and one of Matthew's greatest lyrics: "I didn't think I'd find you perfect in so many ways" from the song "I've Been Waiting" (which happens to be the first song in the show). The Girlfriend and Berkeley Rep logos are on the back.

But wait! There's more!

We also have classic Girlfriend tees with the show logo across the front and the Berkeley Rep logo on the back. Colors are gold...

and heather.

Girlfriend gear is available at the gift cart in the Thrust Stage lobby and in the Hoag Theatre Store in the Roda lobby before and after the show and during intermission.
