Stone Soup Theatre Company proudly presented the San Diego premier of the play Time Magazine calls
the #1 play of the year: Boy Gets Girl by Rebecca Gilman. Boy Gets Girl is a tensely fascinating new
play about a successful woman being followed by an obsessive stalker. The Chicago Tribune calls Boy
Gets Girl “[A] provocative, unsettling play, further proof of Gilman’s ability to shake up a theatre
audience with the power of her ideas—and words.”
Boy Gets Girl is a chilling play about a woman whose life of accomplishment is destroyed by a disturbed
admirer. Variety calls Boy Gets Girl “a suspenseful tale about the unraveling of a woman’s sense of
security in the urban jungle. It certainly will touch a tender nerve with anybody who’s ever squirmed
through a creepy blind date.”

What the critics said:
"Stone Soup company gives us a chilling date from hell...in the hands of this young company (mostly
SDSU grads), the play leaves one creeped out, and thinking."
--Anne Marie Welsh, San Diego Union-Tribune
"Caprice Woosely, Stone Soup A.D./co-founder, has directed with a confident hand; the taut, stomach-
churning suspense never lets up. If you can stand looking into the dark abyss of human behavior, you
can't do better than this. Excellent play, superb production." --Pat Launer, SD Theatre Scene
"From the downcast at the neck and eyes to the booming voice and fidgets at the wrists, Hess is a
histrionic gem—she's adopted Theresa as her own and carries her scenes without obscuring the roles of
the play's lesser personnel... this show is downright Brechtian in its usefulness as a public service."
