Statement

How to Cheat
Presented by The New Theater Group

Often comedy and mostly realistic, How to Cheat explores the lives of two successful, well-educated outsiders as they tumble into bed together against thier better judgment.. Are we really entitled to the “pursuit of happiness” even when we hurts others? In a world where so many people live in the amidst of such strange and often tragic circumstances, is our highest purpose to find our pleasure? Or, when two people come together can they create something larger than themselves?

The play arose from conversations between director Brian Balcom and author Alan Berks about whether, in these times, artists can create something about happiness that also creates happiness in audiences. When Emily Gunyou and Randy Reyes were asked to join the cast, the play was written specifically to stretch and play with their strengths and interests. How to Cheat mixes witty dialogue, funny physical comedy, dancing and unexpected plot twists, into a story of lost love and lust with a dash of redemption.

Reviews

“…a pair of articulate, upscale adulterers played by Randy Reyes and Emily Gunyou invite us into their thought processes… Alan Berks is a nimble playwright and the performances are very good…” Dominic P. Papatola, PIONEER PRESS

“As infidelity plays go, this one is at least heartfelt, well-written and ably acted. Playwright Alan Berks lucked out with the casting, as Emily Gunyou and Randy Reyes bring the brittle two-hander to life.” Claude Peck, STAR TRIBUNE

“How To Cheat is really, really good. ...it’s not what you expect. It’s better.” Jaime Kleiman, MNARTISTS.ORG

"...Gunyou and Reyes give complicated and magnetic performances..." Quinton Skinner, CITY PAGES
