Claudia Dey's Trout Stanley Hits 45 Bleecker May 19

Claudia Dey's Trout Stanley, a success in Canada, is coming to New York. The play is set to run May 19 through June 11 at 45 Bleecker. Kelly McAndrew who notably replaced Ashley Judd in the final weeks of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof on Broadway, Erika Rolfsrud and Warren Sulatycky star.

Trout Stanley is the story of the fraternal twins Grace and Sugar Ducharme McAndrew and Rolfsrud, respectively, who live in a remote cabin in Northern British Columbia. Grace is the beautiful proprietor of the local dump; Sugar is a demure agoraphobic who runs a business designing and manufacturing figurines and other homemade items from within the cabin. In the last nine years, each time the pair celebrates a birthday, there is a murder. On the occasion of their thirtieth birthday, not only does a brazen exotic dancer die, but a stranger named Trout Stanley Sulatycky also enters their lives. The happenings of the day will forever altar their fate.

Trout Stanley, directed by Jen Wineman, premiered at the Ships Company Theatre in Nova Scotia and then enjoyed an engagement at the Factory Theatre in Toronto receiving a Dora Award nomination for Best Play. It will officially open in New York on May 22.
