Live Read New York: Cruel Intentions

Live Read New York: Cruel Intentions
Please note: Tickets will be available to Members starting at 12:00 pm PT on Monday, March 17. Tickets open to the general public beginning at 12:00 pm PT on Wednesday, March 19.
Bored, gorgeous and spoiled Manhattan step-siblings Sebastian Valmont and Kathryn Merteuil are on summer break from their elite prep school. They hatch a plan for revenge on Kathryn’s ex-boyfriend, but Sebastian seeks a bigger challenge: seducing the new girl who is living the chaste “no sex until marriage” life.
The 1999 cult hit Cruel Intentions offers a titillating world of ’90s fashion, fantasy, debauchery, and shockingly little parental oversight, where the privileged children of aristocrats look down from their Central Park apartments upon us mortals – mere pawns in their cruel games.
Now, experience this salacious tale of sex, lies and spoon rosaries firsthand as 2025 Spirit Awards nominee Julio Torres (Fantasmas, Problemista) directs an exciting new cast in a one-night-only Live Read at the DGA New York Theater.
Special thanks to Roger Kumble for making this event possible.
