Stray
Cat Theatre presents
Patty Red Pants and Hysteric StudsPatty Red Pants
by Trista Baldwin
Directed by Ron May
The wolves are on the prowl. Patty Red Pants is the new
play from Trista Baldwin (Electropuss, Chicks with Dicks
I and II) that was a huge hit at last year's New York Fringe
Festival. This surreal, psychosexual black comedy combines the
classic fairy tale of "Little Red Riding Hood" with
the real story of a murdered teen. Navigating a tangle of woods
and primal desires, Patty Red Pants follows two teenage
girls across a nightmarish dreamscape of adolescence and sexual
awakening.

Hysteric Studs
by Charlotte Mann
Directed by Ron May
Hysteric Studs will usher in Stray Cat's "After Dark"
late-night series with a deliriously campy spin on the "Boy
Band" phenomenon. Meet En*Garde: an oyster farmer, a performance
artist, a child star and a transvestite. Bred on N*SYNC, Take
Five and The Backstreet Boys, Charlotte Mann's wickedly crude
satire follows our studs from auditions to casting to superstardom
to super-scandaland beyond. American Idol eat your heart
out!

Trista is a '99 graduate of ASU with an MFA in Playwriting. For the past four years, she has made her home in NYC where her work has been developed by New Georges, Urban Stages, Hypothetical Theater Co., Assembly and Overlap Productions. Baldwin's plays include ELECTROPUSS (Circle X, Los Angeles; Stark Raving, Portland; Queensland Players, Australia and Arizona State University), ACCIDENTS AND SHORT CONVERSATIONS (New Georges, workshop, NYC and Princess Grace Award finalist), PRANK (ATL Heideman Award Finalist), NOT A WORD TO MOTHER (Hypothetical, NYC), 5-9-5 (HERE, NYC) SEX AND OTHER COLLISIONS,(Currican, NYC), CHICKS WITH DICKS (Kraine Theater, NYC; Planet Earth, Phoenix; The Empty Space Theater, Seattle), and CHICKS WITH DICKS II, Battle With Cannibal Sluts in Outer Space!
