Mortified: Doomed Valentines Show February 14, 2011

Commiserate and celebrate Valentine's Day at the Coolidge Corner Theatre with Mortified's Doomed Valentines Show. This special love-themed event will feature ordinary adults sharing hilariously embarrassing diary entries, lyrics, poems, and artwork they composed as teens struck by Cupid’s arrow. One by one, brave men and women will take the stage to bare their souls and relive their tortured adolescence with cringe-worthy tales of juvenile ardor gone wrong, from unrequited high-school crushes and tumultuous off-and-on romances to bad prom dates and awkward sexual firsts. Part comedy, part theater, part therapy, Mortified’s grassroots stage shows have been hailed as a "cultural phenomenon" by Newsweek, and celebrated by the likes of The Today Show, The Onion AV Club, Esquire, and Entertainment Weekly.
