Manic Pixie Dream Girl: a graphic novel play

Two indie art forms intersect in the world premiere production of Manic Pixie Dream Girl: A Graphic Novel by Bay Area writer Katie May . This darkly comic story about a struggling graphic novelist who falls in love with a mysteriously silent manic pixie dream girl and what happens when she becomes more than just a character type. Told in the style of a comic book, this world premiere production is directed and designed by Jon Tracy and features the art of Rob Dario. More Judd Apatow than William… Show more Shakespeare, MPDG is a beer drinking, pop-culture referencing punch in the theatrical gut.
