AMERICAN SEXY, a new play by Trista Baldwin, originally premiered at the 2008 Minnesota Fringe Festival and was written for Justin Jenkins, Patrick Kozicky, Natalie Remus, and Rose Le Tran. That show was very well received by press and audience alike and ranked in the top 20 for attendance and online response.

Since its premiere Trista has continued to develop the script through readings and workshops in both New York and Minneapolis. We are excited to take this next step in new play development by bringing this latest draft to the Dowling Studio with a fresh look and a new energy.
