July 9-11, the Renegade Comedy Theatre presents "Matt and Ben." It's 1995, and Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are just a pair of struggling actors, trying to catch their big break by writing a film adaptation of Catcher in the Rye. Things aren't going well, and just when all hope seems lost, the script for Good Will Hunting falls out of the sky – literally. As the boys decide whether or not to take credit for this cinematic masterpiece, their friendship is tested as old grudges resurface. Visits from J.D. Salinger and Gwyneth Paltrow don't exactly help, either. Co-written by one of the writers and stars of NBC's smash-hit sitcom, The Office, this snarky, raucous send-up of Hollywood and two of its biggest stars was crowned as "one of the top five shows of the year" by Time Magazine.
