Adam Fitzgerald (kef theatrical productions) directs with music direction by Michael Harren. Justin Brill is a participating producer.

According to the collaborators, "Steven brings you through his harrowing account of his life as an addict in Chicago from 2000-2003."

"Come for the sex-and-drugs talk and stay for the laughs," jokes Strafford. "If the stories about crystal meth addiction don't getcha, the songs sure will!" Expect "wildly outrageous anecdotes and hilarious song stylings."

The 3 PM and 7 PM readings at the Studio Theatre at Theatre Row are presented in association with Brill. The free presentations require a reservation made by email at [email protected]. The Studio Theatre at Theatre Row is at 410 W. 42nd Street.
