I'M GONNA MARRY YOU TOBEY MAGUIRE

BY SAMATHA HURELY

DIRECTED BY ISAAC GOBER & GEANNA OROZCO

PRODUCTION INFORMATION

To cope with the absence of her father, neglect from her mother, and ridicule by her classmates, eighth grader Shelby Hinkley has put all of her time and energy into the only thing that matters in 2004: Spiderman. When leading a devout online fan club proves insufficient to her needs, Shelby decides to risk it all for love, kidnap famous actor Tobey Maguire, and marry him in her basement. Her fantasies of happily ever after start to crumble as she realizes Tobey may not be the charismatic heartthrob she thinks she knows. A Y2K farce, I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire is a full-throttle explosion of our para-social relationships and the obsessions that detonate them. 

I'm Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire was performed at The Attic from March 27th through March 30th, 2025.
