WITH YOU!
WITH YOU! is a queer sports rom-com about a U.S. college rugby team's love for the game and each other, brought to the stage via one person's body. A hilarious show about figuring out which team to play for, this quasi-autobiographical comedy is award-winning performer/playwright Una Aya Osatos newest show. Based on her experiences playing college rugby for Wesleyan University, Una brings together her love of rom-coms and sports films into a hard-hitting play, equally tough on the body and the heart.
