Warning: Spoilers
Match is a three person play that takes place in the NY apartment of Toby Powell, a bisexual ballet instructor. Toby has traveled the world and is now teaching in NY. He knits and saves his finger nails in a glass jar. Lisa (Carla Gugino) travels from Seattle to interview the quirky Toby on the history of the industry from the 1960's. Along with her is her husband Mike (Matthew Lillard) who records the conversation. During the interview process, things open up, and Mike slowly becomes more hostile and pointed in his questions as we quickly realize there is something else going on.

This is a well acted drama. Carla reminded me of a young Sally Field. The production attempts to become a tear jerker at the end, but I thought it fell a bit short in that regard.

Guide: F-bombs. No sex or nudity.
