Exclusive Interview: Andrew Reid and Mike McGettigan of Planet Ant's 'How Romatique'

What's love, anyways, without a few Hallmark tropes thrown in, amirite? As someone who grew up on romantic comedies, the cheesier the romance, the better the investment. At least when it comes to films, that is. The Planet Ant Home Team is both paying homage to the genre while also pointing just a bit of fun at the pure ridiculousness of it with their current original comedy, How Romantique! We had the absolute pleasure of speaking to Mike McGettigan, who is both the director of this play and a cast member in it, and Andrew Reid, who is bringing his comedy chops to the stage! In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Mike McGettigan and Andrew Reid discuss how this take on the romantic comedy genre came to be and what the process of developing it entails. McGettigan talks about his process for directing and how, with the Planet Ant Home Team, it truly is collaborative in every way. Every actor helps fine-tune the story and their specific character within it, shaping How Romantique in nearly every way. Both individuals talk about how their background with improv (as the Planet Ant home team is an improv troupe first and foremost), and how that specific brand of comedy has helped shape this play into the very best it can be!
