Directed by Tim Drucker, the new comedy began previews Off-Broadway Jan. 22.
Sex Tips, according to press notes, "is set inside a local university auditorium, where the featured event is an interactive discussion with the author of 'Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man.' With the help of Stefan, a hunky stage assistant, author Dan Anderson encourages the shy and studious moderator of the event, Robyn, to follow her dreams while following his tips."
“Some of our best tips were picked up and perfected in New York, where the competition is, ahem, stiff. We’re excited that this hilarious adaptation of our book will be there to entertain as well as inform,” said authors and real-life best friends Dan Anderson (the gay man) and Maggie Berman (the straight woman) in a previous statement.
