Modern Classics Theatre CompanyBabylon, NY — If you think your dating life is complicated, wait until you meet Bruce and Prudence.

Modern Classics Theatre Company of Long Island, the professional theatrical company in residence at the Babylon Citizens Council on the Arts (BACCA), is thrilled to announce its upcoming production of Christopher Durang’s hit farcical comedy, Beyond Therapy. Directed by Julie Lorson, this razor-sharp satire takes a chaotic, laugh-out-loud look at the modern search for love, sanity, and the therapists who make everything delightfully worse.

The Story: Love, Neurosis, and Personal Ads

Bruce and Prudence are deeply into therapy—and deeply in need of a new hobby. Prudence’s overly macho therapist is aggressively urging her to be more assertive, while Bruce’s spectacularly wacky therapist suggests he place a personal ad to meet women. The catch? She completely glosses over the fact that Bruce lives with his male lover, Bob, who is not thrilled about Bruce’s sudden desire to date women.

When Bruce and Prudence finally meet, the result is a hilarious cocktail of nerves, unpredictable romance, and absolute therapeutic chaos.
