John Montgomery Theatre Company Presents SEX ED 9/19-30

John Montgomery Theatre Company is proud to present Sex Ed by Suzanne Bachner as part of the "Short Subjects (continued)" festival. Performances will be held in Blackbird Studio at Where Eagles Dare, 347 West 36th Street (btwn 8th & 9th Avenues, 13th Floor), in New York City from September 19th-30th. Sex Ed is directed and designed by Adam David Steele and features a cast of three: Bob Brader, Judy Krause*, and Danny Wiseman*, each of whom play multiple characters.

It's 1984. Three innocent New York City sixth-graders and their private school educators explore the often hilarious and frequently frightening world of sexual education in the classroom and beyond. The classroom heats up as pictographic nudity abounds in this clever and poignant account of sexual stirrings.

Written and developed by Suzanne Bachner as the Resident Playwright at The Actors Institute, Sex Ed was last presented to critical acclaim at the 2nd Annual Midtown InterNational Theatre Festival and at Horse Trade Theater Group. Off-Off Broadway Review proclaims Bachner's work "playwriting of the craftiest kind - sharp, unpredictable, shrewd...Bachner's confident writing packs a punch." Theatermania called Sex Ed a "tightly structured piece" that "leaves us wanting more." NYTheatre states Sex Ed is "a success. It is concise, sincere, and thankfully free of cynicism (a rarity these days). And, Bachner is clearly a talented playwright." And, Electronic Link says "Bachner's mastery is once again revealed as she imperceptibly erases the thin line between innocent rebellion and staggering cruelty."

Sex Ed is 45 minutes and is performed without an intermission.

Tickets are $15 and can be purchased online at www.smarttix.com or by calling 212-868-4444. More information on Sex Ed can be found at www.jmtcinc.com.
