ABOUT THE SHOW

I'm Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire

by Samantha Hurley | August 20 - September 12, 2026

DIRECTED BY Alejandro Saucedo | Regional Premiere

I'm Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire by Samantha Hurley is a darkly funny, poignant coming-of-age play by Samantha Hurley that follows a teenage girl in the early 2000s whose obsession with actor Tobey Maguire becomes a lifeline during a time of personal crisis. Blending pop culture, fantasy, and raw emotional truth, the play explores how celebrity fixation can serve as both escape and self-discovery. It’s a bold, surreal look at adolescence, identity, and the blurred lines between reality and the worlds we build to survive.

*contains adult language and situations*

BRENDA DEE CANKLES - (40s - 50s) Real estate agent, cornhole enthusiast, silly woman.
TOBEY MAGUIRE POSTERS - From Tiger Beat Magazine. They appear in the imagination of Shelby and Tobey, each to their own design. To Shelby, the POSTERS are her teenage dreamboat boyfriend who only has eyes for her. To Tobey, the posters are his worst nightmare, the manufactured Hollywood version of himself he aspires to run away from.
SHELBY'S MOM - (30s - 40s) Glued to her loveseat, perpetually watching daytime TV and eating yogurt.
PAPARAZZI - Buzzing, blaring voices of the toxic photographers of early 2000s Hollywood.
