Event Details

Puccini for Beginners, directed by Maria Maggenti

From the director of the classic The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love comes a hilarious tale about a girl who can’t say yes to love. The gorgeous Elizabeth Reaser (The Family Stone) turns in a tremendous performance as Alegra, an opera-loving New York City lesbian who bluntly describes herself as “narcissistic, passive-aggressive, self-absorbed and incapable of connecting”. After Alegra’s commitment issues send her girlfriend (Julianne Nicholson) into the arms of a male rival, Alegra finds herself suddenly attracted to two new lovers: Philip (Justin Kirk of Angels in America) and Grace (Gretchen Mol of The Notorious Bettie Page). With a wacky chorus of sushi chefs and New York City bystanders making trenchant observations on Alegra’s love life, Puccini for Beginners unfolds as a nonstop laugh-fest full of insights on evolving sexual identities and the quest for love in New York City.
(90 minutes).
