'Matt & Ben' at Dragonfly Multicultural Arts Center

What if Matt Damon and Ben Affleck didn’t really write "Good Will Hunting," but the script instead dropped fully-written into their laps from the sky? Suppose Matt and Ben were visited by and received advice from Gwyneth Paltrow and J.D. Salinger? What if they were portrayed by women? Dragonfly Multicultural Arts Center of Metuchen will answer these questions when it presents the wacky comedy "Matt & Ben," in which two female actors play the stars before they were same.

Written by Mindy Kaling and Brenda Withers, the show features Olivia Dalessandro as Matt Damon and Shauni Ramai as Ben Affleck.

The show will run Halloween weekend, October 30 and 31, at the Metuchen Reformed Church. There will be a costume contest and a post-show reception on Halloween. Two weeks later there will be performances November 13 and 14 at the Jersey Shore Arts Center. Performances will occur at 8 p.m. all four nights and at 3 p.m. Sundays. Tickets for the former weekend cost $10 per student, $15 per adult, and $5 per costumed Metuchen High School student with ID; those for the latter cost $20 each.
