Following a successful workshop at the Midtown International Theatre Festival, 'The F Trip' travels on to The Zipper Factory Theatre for a series of Tuesday night performances, October 7, 14 & 28 at 7pm. 'The F Trip' is a powerful, hilarious look at where we place our beliefs. See how liars, pigeon poop & big, holy rocks can change your life; three trips, three men, one unbelievably autobiographical solo show. 'The F Trip' is written & performed by Kim Schultz & directed by Jay Aubrey. Set & Lighting Design are by Rachelle Beckerman, with Sound Design by Rob Ingram.

Fred Backus (
nytheatre.com) writes of 'The F Trip' : "The F Trip takes us on quite a journey... the resulting piece is at times moving, often funny & always engaging. As a performer, Schultz is tremendously talented & very present-not to mention very funny-and the ease & openness she exudes make you feel like you are re-experiencing her emotional journey in the moment on a very intimate level...the piece moves like a river, swirling rapidly at times & flowing steadily at others & Schultz director Jay Aubrey have created a dynamic that is engaging along every twist & turn."
