MISS ABIGAIL'S GUIDE...Monthly Talkback Series With Abigail Grotke

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."

But "Miss Abigail" can't do it alone, and to kick-off the June installments of the new post-show talkback series, Abigail Grotke -- the original, real-life Miss Abigail on whose popular book the production is based -- is set to appear for a special interactive talkback immediately following the 3 p.m. matinee performance of MISS ABIGAIL'S GUIDE TO DATING, MATING, AND MARRIAGE! on Sunday, June 5 at the Downstairs Cabaret Theater at Sofia's (221 West 46th Street, next to the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre).

Abigail Grotke, aka Miss Abigail, has a collection of over 1,000 classic advice and etiquette books from 1822 to 1978. She has been sharing classic advice on her website, Miss Abigail's Time Warp Advice (www.missabigail.com), since 1998.

Other June talkbacks include celebrity stylist Erin O'Keefe on Friday, June 24 (8 p.m.) and Katrina Szish, style contributor for CBS "The Early Show," on Sunday, June 26 (3 p.m.).

In addition to the June talkback series, "Miss Abigail" is pleased to announce that all month long, "June's in Bloom" at MISS ABIGAIL'S GUIDE... . Anyone who purchases two full-price tickets this month will get a dozen red roses delivered to the "special someone" of their choice for FREE!

Starring celebrated artist and television icon Joyce Dewitt ("Three's Company"), 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.
