Devil Inside

Not to scare the single people out there, but the dating scene is about 5,000 miles of bad road. For every personable charmer, there are three (3) shouty dudes who try to program their numbers into your cell phone, nine (9) obnoxious drunks who freakin’ love this Nickelback song, bro and umpteen (umpteen) frat boys who think ladies love the Jäger. But what if your new suitor was the Devil’s spawn? Like, actually? That’s the problem facing Andrew, the gay graduate student at the center of Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s Say You Love Satan, performed by HotCity at the ArtLoft Theatre (1529 Washington Avenue; 314-289-4063 or www.hotcitytheatre.org) at 8 p.m. Friday, July 13. The Prince of Darkness’ progeny is handsome and adventurous, to be sure, but there have to be more than a few disadvantages to dating evil incarnate. Fork over your $20 ($15 for students and seniors) to see how things work out. Chances are, there’ll be plenty of laughs and some poignant observations on modern courtship. You can also catch Say You Love Satan at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 7 p.m. Sunday (through Saturday, July 28).
Thursdays-Sundays. Starts: July 13. Continues through July 28
