Synopsis

Meet Milo Mazowski - a campus security guard who's determination to woo a lovely local bar owner is only hampered by one thing: his unlimited memory which makes him spout out pretty much every unromantic thing he's ever heard in his life.

A bittersweet comedy about learning how to forget.

Press Reviews

— Broadway.com

"Playwright Josh Koenigsberg wraps a bittersweet core of personal isolation and packages it with humor, engaging characters and vibrant dialogue."

— CurtainUp

"An interesting new direction in Koenigsberg’s journey as a playwright…he’s able to consider class and it’s consequences in 21st century America in some detail."

Characters

Character
Dr. G.H. Hulie

Head of the Psychology Department at Deans College. Easily excited by intellectual ideas. Extremely articulate. Tries his best not to be pretentious…doesn’t always succeed. 40’s/50’s, Male.

Samantha Riley

Junior at Deans College. Super smart, grade obsessed, neurotically ambitious. Like Milo, her emotional development has taken a backseat to her other pursuits. Early 20’s, Female.

Joey Giamani

A Campus Security guard at Deans College. Milo’s friend and protector. His toughness masks his vulnerability. Late 20’s/early 30’s, Male.

Gina Giamani

Owner of the Blind Eagle - a local dive bar where the sports-obsessed working class and the scene-obsessed Deans College kids interact. Joey’s sister. She’s tough, like Joey, but way more in touch with her feelings. 30’s, Female.

Tito Davis

Bouncer at the Blind Eagle. Brighter than he lets on. Very conniving, very enthusiastic, and more often than not, very stoned. 30’s/40’s, Male.

Milo Mazowski

Recently fired Campus Security guard at Deans College. Has an unlimited memory. Literally. Also has a deep emotional well…that he has no capacity to process without help. Late 20’s/Early 30’s, Male.
