FURNITURE BOYS
Furniture endures. Boyfriends? Not so much.
In this absurdist comedy from writer-performer Emily Weitzman, boyfriends are armchairs, lampshades and futons. Hailed as 'hilarious', 'weirdly poignant' and 'loopily, luminously charming' (BuzzPei.com), Furniture Boys explores how furniture endures, but boyfriends – not so much. Blending theatre, comedy, clown, spoken word and furniture showroom, this one-woman show has been called 'imaginative, thoughtful, playful, hilarious and relentlessly, infectiously joyous' (BuzzPei.com).
A tale of pull-out couches and break-ups and art-making, Furniture Boys examines the impermanence of a relationship, an artistic project, a person, a chair, a self.
Winner of Theatre’s Choice at Off-Broadway’s SoHo Playhouse in NYC, the Fringiest Show Award at the 2025 Orlando Fringe FestN4, and the 2024 Jilline Ringle Solo Performance Award. Directed by Kate Doyle. 'Furniture,' writes one reviewer, 'has never been more moving'.
