SPANK! returns to the Byham Theater on Thursday, September 19, 2013 at 8:00 pm, Friday, September 20, 2013 at 8:00 p.m., and Saturday, September 21, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Tickets start at $35.50 and can be purchased at www.TrustArts.org or through the Box Office at (412) 456-6666.

SPANK! The Fifty Shades Parody is not associated with, nor authorized by, author E.L. James or Vintage Press.

The story follows the writer and main character, E.B. Janet, as she sends her husband and children away to partake in a weekend of writing. Setting her sites on a tale of erotica, she enlists a bottle of chardonnay as her coauthor for the weekend. Her fantasy builds around the relationship of a young innocent girl, Tasha Wood, and a handsome man that she finds herself involved with, Hugh Hansen. Producer Michael Mills promises "a laugh-filled evening that captures all of the escapist fun and absurdity of the novel, bringing the characters to light with creative and fun musical numbers."
