About the Play:

Significant Other has become a favourite of acting teachers for Female/Male Scenes.

Significant Other is a full-length comedy by Joshua Harmon. Jordan is a young gay man looking for love, and facing a lonely future as his three best friends, all straight women, find partners and marry. When you are single and your friends are your family, what happens when those friends settle down and make families of their own?

Significant Other takes us into the single life of late-twenties Jordan Berman as he confronts the limits of friendship, the inscrutabilities of dating, and the loneliness of adulthood. Jordan would love to be in love, but that's easier said than done. So until he finds Mr. Right, he wards off lonely nights with his trio of close girlfriends. But as singles' nights turn into bachelorette parties, Jordan discovers that the only thing harder than finding love is supporting the loved ones around you when they do. From the critically acclaimed writer who brought you Bad Jews.

Significant Other premiered in 2015 off-Broadway at the Laura Pels Theatre and transferred in 2017 to the Booth Theatre on Broadway for a limited run in. The play has become a favourite scene study vehicle in acting classes and workshops and has been mounted by regional, college and community theatres.

Cast: 4 female, 3 male

What people say:

"A tenderly unromantic romantic comedy, as richly funny as it is ultimately heart-stirring." — The New York Times

"Frighteningly funny [...] strikes the perfect balance between comedy and pathos." — Variety

"Significant Other is flat-out funny and you'll likely relate [...] a lively comedy that does not fall into the traps of predictability." — Chicago Tribune
