Eve Plumb to Star in MISS ABIGAIL'S GUIDE at Sofia's Downstairs Theater, 10/7

Calling all mingling singles, dating disasters, mating mavens and nuptial know-it-alls-Miss Abigail is coming to town! After a successful run at The David A. Straz, Jr. Center for the Performing Arts (formerly the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center), Ken Davenport will present the New York City premiere of Miss Abigail's Guide to Dating, Mating, & Marriage (www.MissAbigailsGuide.com). The open-ended engagement will begin on Thursday, October 7, 2010, with opening night set for Sunday, October 24, 2010, at the Downstairs Cabaret Theater at Sofia's (221 West 46th Street, next to the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre). Eve Plumb, TV's famed Jan Brady, is set to make her New York theatrical debut in the lead role of Miss Abigail.

Written by Ken Davenport (Altar Boyz, My First Time, The Awesome 80s Prom) and Sarah Saltzberg (25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee), Miss Abigail's Guide to Dating, Mating, & Marriage is based on Abigail Grotke's popular book-the comedy's namesake-that promises "classic advice for contemporary dilemmas." Davenport directs as Miss Abigail takes you back to a simpler time, before booty calls and speed-dating, back when the divorce rate wasn't 50 percent and "Fidelity" was more than an investment firm.

"I'm thrilled to be making my New York debut as Miss Abigail this fall," said Actress Eve Plumb. "And from what I've seen on Sex and the City, it sounds like this show is exactly what New Yorkers need!"

Miss Abigail's Guide to Dating, Mating, & Marriage is the story of Miss Abigail, the most sought-after relationship expert to the stars-think Dr. Ruth meets Emily Post-and her sexy sidekick Paco, as they travel the globe teaching Miss Abigail's outrageously funny "how-tos" on dating, mating and marriage.

During this 90-minute comedy, you're guaranteed to laugh-out-loud and learn a thing or two . . . like how to have a perfect kiss (it's all about lip position) . . . what you should and should not talk about on a date (don't mention your troll doll collection) . . . and how to let a man think he wears the pants.

Performances of Miss Abigail's Guide to Dating, Mating, & Marriage will be Wednesday matinees at 2pm, Thursday and Friday evenings at 8pm, Saturdays at 2pm, 5:00pm and 8pm, and Sunday at 3pm and 7:30pm.

Three types of ticket packages will be available for the performance. Lovers Lane is the VIP package that includes table seating, champagne and a rose from Miss Abigail for $125. The Drive-In premium package includes table seating for $99.99. Regular Tickets will cost $75.
