Letting a stranger in can always be dangerous.
Playing in a super fancy kitty condo with Arizona Theatre Company, SEX WITH STRANGERS will be performed at the Herberger Theater Center Stage West in Phoenix and at the Temple of Arts and Music in Tucson.

“Over the last decade or so, Arizona has been increasingly blessed with a flowering of theatrical invention from the independent theatre companies doing top-notch work in our region”, said ATC Artistic Director David Ira Goldstein, “I have been eager to find ways for ATC to partner with our indie colleagues on projects and bring a wider range of theatrical work to our audiences. When Ron May and I discovered we both were eager to produce the delicious SEX WITH STRANGERS, it became a tremendous opportunity for ATC to collaborate with Stray Cat Theatre to give their exciting work more exposure in downtown Phoenix and Tucson, while bringing a provocative work to both theatres’ audiences. I hope this will be the first of many such collaborations between ATC and other superb theatre companies around the state.”

        “The kind of opportunity and exposure this affords Stray Cat as we head into our 14th season is really extraordinary,” said Stray Cat Artistic Director Ron May, “In a time when there is such declining governmental arts support and financial stress on arts organizations of all kinds, having THE State Theatre reach out to collaborate with us is incredibly exciting. We hope to ultimately help set a model and a trend for arts organizations statewide to pursue these kinds of collaborations.”
A new comedy about the calculations people are making to find love and fame in an age of social media, brightly-lit smart phone screens, and virtual worlds. A raging snowstorm traps strangers Olivia, an unsuccessful, yet gifted, novelist, and Ethan, a tech-addicted and wildly successful young blogger, in a secluded cabin. Opposites instantly attract, undeniable chemistry ignites, and sex is imminent. As dawn rises, however, what could have been just a one-night-stand transforms into something much more complicated.

 “…a bodice ripper with brains… a sexy romantic comedy strictly for grown-ups.” – Washington Post
