Live Girls! to Present NW Premiere of Patty Red Pants

Live Girls! will present the Northwest Premiere Trista  Baldwin's play Patty Red Pants. Opening night is set for April 21^st.

A chance encounter between old friends raises unsettling questions about their girlhood, a time when desire bloomed in the shadow of a murder of their peer. Suspended in  a web of memories, this gripping coming-of-age, post-Red Riding Hood  tale lurches between reality and dream as Patty Red Pants chases the truth of her own past.

Directed by Joy Fairfield, Patty Red Pants features Kristina Sutherland, Erin Stewart and Jason Sharp.

Playwright Trista Baldwin's plays have been produced and developed  throughout the U.S./> and Australia/>/> by groups such as The Guthrie, La  Mama, New Georges, The Empty Space Theatre, Actors Theater of  Phoenix, Circle X , Stark Raving Theater, BPP, Chicago Dramatists,  Urban Stages and HB Playwrights' Foundation. Patty Red Pants was selected for the National New Play Network's 2004 New Play Showcase.   Other plays include Sand, ElectroPuss (2003 Drammy Award, 2002 AriZoni Award), Sex and Other Collisions and the campy cult hit Chicks With Dicks: Bad Girls On Bikes Doing Bad Things!  Trista is the recipient of two Jerome Fellowships at The Playwrights' Center/> of Minneapolis/>/>.
