Unmatched - 2021
But how do you outright say like, “YEAH I’m done with the date, GOODBYE!”
- Kendra Frith, real life first-date-goer
Premiering at the 2021 Fresh Meat Festival, Unmatched is a verbatim piece told through real accounts of first dates. Pulled from a series of interviews, this in-development piece explores the trials and tribulations of modern dating from vast perspectives, including queer, gender non-conforming, and polyamorous experiences.

“Unmatched is extremely well-structured and makes use of sophisticated theatrical storytelling such as cross-cutting and (mild) audience participation. Smyck is an excellent storyteller and I imagine that she could easily hold the attention of a large audience on her own.”
