Entry and seating are first-come, first-served. RSVPs do not guarantee entry to a full event.**_ **In this _A Midsummer Night's Dream_\-inspired romcom, Puck is a reality show producer and agent of chaos with a talent for bringing people together . . . and tearing them apart.** Meet Puck: the nonbinary, thirty-year-old mastermind behind _Homewreckers_, a dating show that puts troubled couples through hell—with a little help from their exes. Used to being the one pulling the strings, it shocks Puck when their life undergoes a plot twist of its own and their college roommate Mia announces her engagement to her ex’s best friend, Damon. Having only recently broken up with longtime-boyfriend Zander, and never having had much in common with Damon (who lovesick Lena has always pined after), Mia’s news leaves her friend group reeling—and Puck’s mind whirling. When they arrive for a week of wedding festivities at an upscale resort in the Appalachian forest, Puck immediately sees that Mia’s marriage will lead to misery, and takes it upon themself to save their friends by rearranging the couples—without anyone finding out. But as Puck comes up against a type-A maid of honor hell-bent on making this wedding happen, it becomes clear that they will have to deliver the greatest stunt of their career. If only they can take their eyes off the bridesmaid. After all, the course of true love never did run smooth… Written with Samantha Allen’s signature charm, wit, and an irresistible dose of Shakespearian mischief, _Puck_ is the ultimate romcom for our chaotic era, and a celebration of the friendships that carry us through it all. **Samantha Allen** is the author of the Lambda Literary Award finalist _Real Queer America: LGBT Stories from Red States_ and a GLAAD Award-winning journalist.
