This new comedy is set inside a local university auditorium, where the featured event is an interactive discussion with the author of Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man. With the help of Stefan, a hunky stage assistant, author Dan Anderson encourages the shy and studious moderator of the event, Robyn, to follow her dreams while following his tips. Based on the international best-selling book, this world premiere production welcomes audiences into a fun-filled world of foolproof moves and insider advice that could only be culled from that most insightful of individuals: the gay man. “Some of our best tips were picked up and perfected in New York, where the competition is, ahem, stiff. We’re excited that this hilarious adaptation of our book will be there to entertain as well as inform,” said authors and real-life best friends Dan Anderson (the gay man) and Maggie Berman (the straight woman). Mr. Anderson and Ms. Berman's best-seller (featured in the film Hope Springs, starring Meryl Streep) was praised by The Daily News for “offering witty—and yes, explicit—descriptions of all manner of how-tos;” by The New York Post as "straightforward and saucy . . . a play-by-play account of how to make the most of every moment;" and by Salon.com as “a cannily entertaining romp through the nuts and bolts of sex from the male perspective.” The cast of Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man includes Jason Michael Snow (Book of Mormon, South Pacific, Saved) as Dan, Lindsay Nicole Chambers (Lysistrata Jones, Forbidden Broadway, “Submissions Only”) as Robyn, and Andrew Brewer (Cougar The Musical) as Stefan. Rachel Moulton and Grant MacDermott are the understudies.
