Emerald Coast Theatre Company presents interactive variety show-style comedy

Emerald Coast Theatre Company, Miss Abigail’s Guide to Dating, Mating & Marriage
Miss Abigail’s Guide to Dating, Mating & Marriage features Kindra Steenerson and Elbi Cespedes.

MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla. — “This season we were looking for shows that were fun and funny and ‘Miss Abigail’ fits the bill,” says Emerald Coast Theatre Company producing artistic director Nathanael Fisher.

“Whether you are into dating, mating or marriage — or all three — this comedy is relatable and will bring the laughter we all need.”

In this Off-Broadway romp by Ken Davenport, “Miss Abigail” takes you back to a simpler time before “booty calls” and speed-dating, back when “fidelity” was more than an investment firm.

This is the story of Miss Abigail (Kindra Steenerson), the most sought-after relationship expert to the stars (think Dr. Ruth meets Emily Post), and her sexy sidekick Paco (Elbi Cespedes), as they travel the world teaching Miss Abigail’s outrageously funny “how-to” tips on dating, mating and marriage.

The audience participates in this hilarious variety show and Miss Abigail’s strapping young assistant is there to provide for her every need. The smash Off-Broadway hit will keep your laughing all night long — that’s the Miss Abigail “guarantee.”

The show opens Friday, Jan. 28 and runs through Sunday, Feb. 6. Performances are Thursday, Friday, Saturday at 7:30 p.m. with 2:30 p.m. Sunday matinees Jan. 30 and Feb. 6.

Arrive to the theater early to enjoy the display of original artwork in the ECTC Lobby Gallery exhibited in partnership with the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County. The exhibit features artwork by local artists. All the artwork is available for purchase. A portion of proceeds benefit ECTC and its theater education programs.
