“I’m Gonna Marry You, Tobey Maguire” at The Den Theatre

September 18-October 31, 2026

To cope with the absence of her father, neglect of her mother, and ridicule by her classmates, eighth-grader and president of the Tobey Maguire Fan Club, Shelby Hinkley 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 actor she thinks she knows. While Tobey does everything he can to escape the clutches of his number one fan. 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.
