DETAILS
By the author of last season's hit, AN ACT OF LOVE! The Falcon Theatre presents the world premiere comedy Surviving Sex, the fourth production in its 2008-2009 “Bringin’ the FUNNY’ All-Comedy subscription season. Written by acclaimed comedy writer David Landsberg (author of last year’s hit play An Act of Love at the Falcon Theatre), Surviving Sex stars an ensemble cast lead by Jeff Marlow, a veteran of the Falcon stage (Where’s Poppa?, Sheldon & Mrs. Levine) and directed by Susan Morgenstern (director of last year’s Falcon comedy, Leap). Surviving Sex tells the misadventures of Stan Cooper (Jeff Marlow), your average accountant with a not-your-average sex life. His quest for sexual understanding is thwarted by the cast of romantically-challenged characters in his life. Filled with eccentric encounters and lively liaisons, Stan’s hilarious romp through the jungle of love shows us how different love and sex can really be. Life without romance may be a lot safer than surrendering to one’s sexual needs…but certainly not funnier! SURVIVING SEX plays five weeks, Wednesday-Saturday at 8pm, and Sunday matinees at 4pm.

“Sophisticated examination of gender roles and sexual imperatives builds in momentum until it sucker-punches you with unexpected hilarity — and pathos....the play’s treatment of what women want, from Stan’s singular point of view, is actually deeply layered.” --Los Angeles Times 'Larry' (Peter Story) gives his best friend 'Stan' (Jeff Marlow) some advice on the opposite sex in SURVIVING SEX at the Falcon Theatre.

“There’s an enjoyable time to be had at this saucy and bawdy farce with a Woody Allen edge...Landsberg scores biting satirical jabs on insecurities and follies within the yuppie dating game. The spry cast has fun with the dicey gag lines and zany complications. Marlow is a formidable straight man.” --Backstage 'Stan' (Jeff Marlow) tries to apologize to his on-again off-again girlfriend ‘Denise’ (Amy Handelman) in SURVIVING SEX at the Falcon Theatre.

“Boasting first-rate production values and a terrific leading performances...Peter Story’s droll, often cuttingly sarcastic take on Larry is the perfect foil to Marlow’s steadily increasing paranoia.” --Burbank Leader 'Larry' (Peter Story) and 'Jennifer' (Mandy June Turpin) want some answers from 'Stan' (Jeff Marlow) in SURVIVING SEX at the Falcon Theatre.

“Landsberg has crafted some witty, satirical riffs on the double-standards set by women...Marlow is an accomplished comic whose droll reactions to the mayhem surrounding him produce some intoxicating moments.” --LA Weekly 'Stan' (Jeff Marlow) gets a provocative invitation from his blind date, 'Lenore' (Dana Green), in SURVIVING SEX at the Falcon Theatre.

“Director Susan Morgenstern keeps things moving fast and furious and funny...Peter Story is an ingratiating presence...Amy Handelman and Steve Coombs prove to be hilarious scene stealers...Dana Green combines beauty and talent as the seductive but mixed-up Lenore, and Mandy June Turpin completes the cast amusingly as Jennifer...an entertaining hour and a half of laughs with some sparkling performances.”- --StageScene.com 'Stan' (Jeff Marlow) and ‘Sid’ (Steve Coombs) and ‘Denise’ (Amy Handelman) in SURVIVING SEX at the Falcon Theatre.
