Eve Plumb Plays Final Night In Miss Abigail's Guide... 5/29

Celebrated television icon Eve Plumb will play her final performance in the hit new Off-Broadway comedy MISS ABIGAIL'S GUIDE TO DATING, MATING, AND MARRIAGE! on Sunday, May 29, 2011 at the Downstairs Cabaret Theatre at Sofia's (221 West 46th Street, next to the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in Times Square).

Ms. Plumb - best known for her unforgettable portrayal of Jan Brady in the iconic American television series "The Brady Bunch" - made her New York stage debut as Miss Abigail last October in a comedy that Entertainment Weekly calls "...pure fun and, in less than 90 minutes, the perfect romp for an evening out with friends."

"Eve Plumb's contribution and commitment to MISS ABIGAIL'S GUIDE have made an indelible impact on the continued success of our show," said director and co-author Ken Davenport. "From the very beginning, her dedication and work ethic have been truly outstanding, and looking back on these past 250 performances, we really couldn't have asked for more. And while we're certainly sad to see her go, we're very excited to welcome a brand-new Miss Abigail to our family on June 1."

Casting for the new Miss Abigail -- another acclaimed actress and American pop-culture icon -- will be announced on Monday, May 2. Until then, visit www.WhoIsTheNewMissA.com for daily casting clues and a special contest. The first person to correctly guess the new Miss Abigail will win a VIP ticket package for two to see her first performance on Wednesday, June 1. All runners-up will receive an autographed poster from the new Miss A.

Written by Ken Davenport (Altar Boyz, My First Time) and Sarah Saltzberg (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee), MISS ABIGAIL'S GUIDE TO DATING, MATING, AND MARRIAGE! is based on Abigail Grotke's popular book - the comedy's namesake - that promises "classic advice for contemporary dilemmas."

Miss Abigail is the most sought-after relationship expert to the stars - think Dr. Ruth meets Emily Post - and in MISS ABIGAIL'S GUIDE TO DATING, MATING, AND MARRIAGE!, she and her sexy sidekick Paco (played by Mauricio Perez) travel the globe teaching her outrageously funny "how-tos" on dating, mating and marriage.

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.

During this 90-minute comedy, audiences are 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.

MISS ABIGAIL'S GUIDE TO DATING, MATING, AND MARRIAGE!features scenic design by Hilary Noxon, costume design by Abbi Stern and lighting design by Graham Kindred. The production began preview performances on Thursday, October 7, 2010 and officially opened on Sunday, October 24.
