About What Happened Was...

Everything you need to know about the show.

The Story

New York City can be the loneliest place on earth. In a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan, two co-workers meet for a first date. What begins as small talk quickly unravels into an achingly tender chamber piece about attraction, secrets, and the desperate need for connection. Don’t miss the first major New York revival of Tom Noonan’s play that inspired the Grand Jury Prize-winning 1994 Sundance film. What does it cost to let someone else in?

A terrific evening

"The story and situation were engrossing, the acting superb. More people should know about this show—it deserves further life on New York stages."

Excellent Play!

"Cecily Strong and Corey Stoll are both at the top of their game, expertly balancing the drama and the humor in this play, which seems as timely today as when it was first written. Well-worth seeing, especially if you're a fan of either of the actors. "
