If you have the chance this weekend, we strongly urge you to catch the last remaining performances of The Bad Guys, our dear friend Alena Smith's play, which is up through Sunday at Second Stage's uptown theater. The Bad Guys, composed of all-male actors, follows a group of childhood friends who convene for a reunion-sh event in upstate New York, and grapple with childhood tensions surrounding a friend who maybe committed a murder when he was 16. There are hot guys, lots of snappy dialogue, some timely political rants and a Lady Gaga dance! We think Ms. Smith summed it up best when she wrote, "The Bad Guys asks whether one person should be able to use the details of someone else's life to create his own art. Another question the play asks is: Which is worse? To make art about somebody, or to murder them?"See. It.
Tickets are available here.
P.S. Alena happens to be the genius mind behind Tween Hobo!
