BAE Theatre Brings Mindy Kaling’s “Matt & Ben” to 2016 Hollywood Fringe Festival

LOS ANGELES May 2, 2016—There’s more to friendship than Good Will. The surprise hit at 2002’s New York International Fringe Festival, BAE Theatre is proud to present Mindy Kaling and Brenda Withers’ comedy “Matt & Ben” to LA audiences this May.

Isabella Petrini and Celia Mandela star as famous best friends Matt Damon and Ben Affleck – before they were famous. When a mysterious script titled “Good Will Hunting” drops down from the heavens into the middle of Ben’s bachelor pad, they are forced to face the future of their careers—and their friendship—under circumstances beyond their wildest imaginations.

“This is a wonderful play about friendship, and the joys and challenges that go along with working with your best friends. And it had me literally laughing out loud,” says producer, Emily Keaney.

Rounding out the creative team are director Bryn Woznicki, set designer Anthony Soto, costume designer Tara Meyer, lighting designer Andrew Schmedake, and sound designer Kenny Zhao.

BAE Theatre made their Hollywood Fringe Festival debut in 2015 with an original production, “Missed Connections”, that Time Out LA named one of “4 can’t-miss shows at the Hollywood Fringe Festival.” “Matt & Ben” opens May 13th at The Attic Theatre in Culver City before going on to the 2016 Hollywood Fringe Festival in June. Tickets are on sale now.
