‘Your Boyfriend May Be Imaginary’ at Under St. Marks

By CATHERINE RAMPELL
In pacing, tone and general absurdities, “Your Boyfriend May Be Imaginary,” a sharp new comedy by Larry Kunofsky, has the feel of a David Sedaris story.

It’s a sort of Urban Outfitters farce, if such a genre exists, that satirizes the social and psychological unravelings of 30-something New Yorkers.

By her friends’ accounts, Marci (the agitated and pajama-clad Darcy Fowler) is an undesirable shut-in. She seems to have found a soul mate, though, in Phillip, a crunchy-granola activist who lives off the grid.

When the cellphone-less Phillip doesn’t show up for their semi-anniversary date, she braves the New York party scene to find him, hoping that a friend of a friend of a frenemy might know where he is.

The odyssey begins at a soiree populated by camera-phone-addicted singles — you know, the social class that earned Instagram its $1 billion valuation. The hostess and chief mean girl, Cassandra (a deliciously narcissistic Risa Sarachan), feigns pleasure upon seeing the uninvited Marci. But like her guests Cassandra doesn’t believe that Marci could have scored a real-life, flesh-and-blood boyfriend, so she initially refuses to provides the intel that Marci seeks.

From there Marci parachutes into a chic party hosted by the obligatory men in Chelsea. An encounter with the drunken Toddwhatshisname (Debargo Sanyal, who can be riotously funny at times but needs a shorter leash) leads her to a “divorce party.” Similarly ridiculous, but somehow recognizable characters abound there, too.

The script still has some rough edges, including a few scenes that play more like ideas than dialogue and a main character who’s more of a passive punching bag than a real person.

But under Meg Sturiano’s skillful direction, the play pulses with the energy and style you’d expect from a great Saturday night party, especially one backlighted by a Greek chorus of hot scenesters.

“Your Boyfriend May Be Imaginary” continues through April 28 at Under St. Marks, 94 St. Marks Place, East Village; (212) 868-4444, smarttix.com.
