SCOUNDREL & SCAMP THEATRE presents I'm Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire

THE SCOUNDREL & SCAMP THEATRE  ·  SEASON TEN  ·  TUCSON PREMIERE

A HILARIOUSLY TWISTED LOVE LETTER TO Y2K FANDOM

I'm Gonna Marry You

Tobey Maguire

by Samantha Hurley  ·  Directed by Annika Maher

  Arizona Premiere  ·  Mainstage  ·  Ages 17+ 

September 24 – October 11, 2026  ·  The Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre  ·  738 N 5th Avenue, Tucson

 

About the Play

About the Play

It's 2004. Low-rise jeans reign supreme, AIM away messages are works of art, and 14-year-old Shelby Hinkley is obsessed with one thing and one thing only: Tobey Maguire.

With her dad out of the picture, her mom totally oblivious, and her classmates treating her like a social outcast, Shelby has poured her entire soul into running the most devout Tobey Maguire fan club the internet has ever seen. President, activities director, and sole true believer.

But liking Tobey Maguire is not enough. No, Shelby has a plan — an absolutely foolproof, completely rational, no-notes plan: kidnap him and then marry him in her basement.

What could possibly go wrong? Well… turns out, a lot.

A zany Y2K-fueled farce, I'm Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire is a wild, unhinged joyride through fangirl culture, adolescent obsession, and the utterly unbreakable belief that your celebrity crush would totally love you back — if only they knew you existed.

Runtime: Approximately 90 minutes, no intermission

It's 2004.
