If you’re looking for #notyourmother’sshow, you couldn’t do better than #DateMe: An OkCupid Experiment.  You won’t be asked to turn off your cell phone, you’ll be asked to log in to the show’s website and create a profile and snap a selfie to follow along with the show.  What?!  At some point you’ll also be asked to share your worst online dating stories.  Part improv, part musical, but all based on the true story of Robyn Lynne Norris’ experiment on OkCupid with 38 made-up profiles and the responses she got.  It’s snortingly funny and an eye-opening look at the state of online dating these days.  It’s fun, there’s a bar upstairs, and guys, you’ll discover the two types of men that get the most responses online.  What have you got to lose? See my full review here.
