The Ultimate Manic Pixie Dream Girl Speed-Dating Competition

Penny Lane in Almost Famous, Natalie Portman in Garden State, Zooey Deschanel in, well, anything really—we've all come across a "Manic Pixie Dream Girl." That's defined as "a quirky and mysterious girl whose entire purpose in a narrative is to inspire a man to appreciate life." And in this satirical one-act play co-created and starring Miranda Renée and Maya Shoham, you'll explore—through humor!—what is an MPDG, what does being compared to one means, and why does it "feel so incredibly offensive." The live show, which premiered last year at the Off-Broadway stage of the SoHo Playhouse, will be revived at Caveat on Monday, May 27.
