MISS ABIGAIL'S GUIDE... Continues Its Monthly Talkback With Schneider

Last fall, "Miss Abigail" came to town to teach New York's mingling singles, dating disasters and mating mavens how to date, mate and marry in a new play that Entertainment Weekly calls "...pure fun and, in less than 90 minutes, the perfect romp for an evening out with friends."

For the latest installment of its new monthly talkback series, on Friday, April 29, "Miss Abigail" is proud to welcome Sherrie Schneider, acclaimed co-author of The New York Times Bestseller "The Rules," for a special interactive talkback immediately following the 8 p.m. performance of MISS ABIGAIL'S GUIDE TO DATING, MATING, AND MARRIAGE! at the Downstairs Cabaret Theater at Sofia's (221 West 46th Street, next to the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre).

Sherrie Schneider is co-author with Ellen Fein of "The Rules," "The Rules II," "The Rules for Marriage" and "The Rules for Online Dating." Renowned authors and dating coaches, both Sherrie and Ellen have appeared on "Oprah," "Today," "20/20," "The View" and dozens of other talk shows in the past few years.

In addition to her work as an author, Sherrie also offers private email and phone consultations, seminars and worldwide support groups.

And... do you think that you and your special someone know how to kiss better than anybody? Miss Abigail wants you to prove it! Celebrate this ultimate romantic gesture by entering "Miss Abigail's Kissing Contest."

To enter, visit www.missabigailsguide.com/kissing-contest.html. Several couples will be randomly selected to receive two free tickets to the Saturday 8 p.m. performances on April 30, May 7 or May 14. During those performances, the selected couples will be invited onstage to lay their best smooch on their partner. The "Best Kiss" semifinalists will be chosen by the audience each night!

Then, at the 8 p.m. performance on Saturday, May 21, those three semifinalists will compete for the "Best Kissers" title and the grand prize package -- a VIP Romantic Night in New York City.

The winning couple will receive a night in the Presidential Hotel in Times Square, dinner for two at Bamboo 52 Restaurant in the heart of the New York Theatre District, and a romantic gondola ride around The Lake in Central Park.

Starring celebrated artist and television icon Eve Plumb ("The Brady Bunch"), MISS ABIGAIL'S GUIDE TO DATING, MATING, AND MARRIAGE! is written by Ken Davenport (Altar Boyz, My First Time, The Awesome 80s Prom) and Sarah Saltzberg (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee), and 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.
