"Adventures in Mating" is a unique interactive romantic comedy inspired by the Choose Your Own Adventure novels. The course of this scripted show is determined by audience choices.

...When two strangers meet on a blind date, they soon discover that they can’t make simple decisions like red or white wine, kiss or slap, leave or stay – the audience gets to play the role of cruel fate in this romantic comedy for cynics of all ages!

The audience votes and the story unfolds in vastly different but equally absurd directions. There are currently over 40 different scenes written for the show, and only 5 to 7 are performed each night. With multiple storylines, endings, and ever-changing scene options--it's rarely the same show twice.

"Adventures in Mating" is an internationally produced hit. "Mating" began as the #3 best selling show of the 2005 MN Fringe Festival and has been running weekly since Feb. 2007 at the Bryant Lake Bowl. The show also runs every Thursday night in New York and had a sold out run at Theatre Schmeater in Seattle as well as performances in Wisconsin, Michigan, the UK and Bulgaria.
