It’s 2004 and the eighth-grader Shelby Hinkley is a loser with absentee parents. Excited for Spiderman 2, the year’s hottest film, she starts an online fan club for Tobey Maguire, who plays the superhero in the movie. But is that really enough for a lonely teen? She may need to kidnap the actor, and if she does, what then? That’s the premise for Samantha Hurley’s new play, a Y2K farce that has its world premiere at The Cell Theatre. Tyler Struble directs. —Jensen Davis
