Miss Abigail's Guide... Continues Talk-backs With Rachel Russo 1/9

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 "...super fun and, in less than 90 minutes, the perfect romp for an evening out with friends."

For the second installment of its new monthly talkback series, on Sunday, January 9, "Miss Abigail" is proud to welcome acclaimed love coach and relationship expert Rachel Russo for a special interactive talkback immediately following the 3 p.m. matinee 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).

Rachel Russo MS, MFT is an "It" Girl on a mission to save the world-one relationship at a time. Rachel is a Matchmaker, Relationship Coach, Writer, and Speaker who works and resides in NYC.

With a BA in Psychology from Rutgers University and an MS in Marriage & Family Therapy from Iona College, she has serious credentials for helping diverse people find love.

Her profound understanding of human nature and gender dynamics, coupled with her previous practice of psychotherapy and six years of experience working in the matchmaking industry, fuel Rachel's success in her current position at Master Matchmakers, the company behind VH1's "Tough Love."

She has a love affair with the written word and has recently penned a book, A Fab Job Guide to Become a Matchmaker, which will be published in early 2011.

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 Manuel Herrera) 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.
