SATAN IN HIGH HEELS, a two-act staged workshop production of the 1960's comedic adaptation film, is the story of a cunning and ambitious carnival striptease dancer, Stacy Kane (Karen Stanion), who sleeps her way to the top in her sociopathic quest to become a Manhattan cabaret singer. While polishing up her musical act, Stacy engages in a series of sizzling affairs with lesbian nightclub manager Pepe, nightclub owner and shady businessman Arnold Kenyon, and Arnold's naïve college student son, Larry.

The play is written and produced by up and coming playwright Robbie Robertson. Robertson is a graduate of both the University of South Carolina and UCLA's professional program in screenwriting. Robertson's first play, MINA TONIGHT!, was published by Samuel French Inc. and has been produced by regional theatres across the nation. His latest screenplay, Sweet Child of Mine, was named one of the top 12 comedy scripts at the Austin Film Festival Screenwriting Competition and he is currently developing several film and television projects.

Mark Finley, director, is also the artistic director of TOSOS, New York City's oldest LGBT theatre company that was revived with founder Doric Wilson and Barry Childs. Finley has directed many of their productions including Wilson's OOBR winning revival of A PERFECT RELATIONSHIP and STREET THEATRE. He made his off-Broadway directorial debut with Chris Weikel's PENNY

PENNIWORTH and has directed for Emerging Artists Theatre, Abingdon Theatre, Naked Angels Lab, and The Neighborhood Playhouse among others. Finley is also a playwright, an actor and a graduate of the North Carolina School of the Arts and SDC member.

Karen Stanion, lead actor, was last seen at Provincetown Theatre in Cape Cod, where she won rave reviews for her "powerhouse" portrayal of Jane in Meryl Cohn's sold out hit Reasons to Live. Other theatre credits include: David Caudle's The Short Fall with Toy Box Theatre; Mother in The Pillowman at Astoria Performing Arts Center; The Secretaries by the Five Lesbian Brothers at the Lucille Lortel; Palooka (New York Innovative Theatre Award nominee for Best Actress) at the Access Theatre; The Chiselers at Tada Theatre; African Nights at Wings Theatre, The Mermaid with TOSOS 2; Tango Masculino, also at Wings (OOBR Award); and Miss Caswell in the radio play version of All About Eve, starring the legendary Charles Busch. Stanion is a graduate of The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and a proud member of AEA.
