Bike America is coming home to NYC! Four weeks only: September 24 – October 20 @ The Theatre at St. Clement’s
Bike America
by Mike Lew
directed by Moritz von Stuelpnagel
Featuring Vandit Bhatt, Jessica DiGiovanni, Melanie Nicholls-King, David Shih, Marilyn Torres, Tom White, and Landon G. Woodson
Winner of the Kendeda Grad Playwriting Competition!
Bike America is a wildly theatrical picaresque journey that crams the entire continent onto one stage. The play unfolds as a cross-country bike trip from Boston to California, with stops in big cities and small towns along the way. Our feckless heroine Penny is looking to bring more meaning into her life, to find a lifestyle that suits her and a town that feels like a home… so she drops her clingy boyfriend in Beantown and takes off for Santa Barbara! Along the way she befriends a colorful crew of bikers: Ryan, the health nut biking instructor; Tim Billy, the innocent wanderer; Annabel and Rorie, the badass activists seeking to get gay-married in every state they hit on the trip; and the mysterious Man with the Van who carries their stuff
NOTE from the MODERATOR: the Ryan role had nudity in the original run. TOM WHITE is reprising his role. So I think it is safe to assume that the brief nudity will be intact.

Wednesdays thru Saturdays @ 8:00pm
Tuesdays @ 7:00pm
Sunday @ 3:00pm

Hooray, I have been waiting for this play to come to NYC.
This show was in Atlanta this summer. The nude part came and went in two seconds or less.
Yes, I too saw this play in Atlanta. Its a good play, but don’t see it for the nudity. If you blink, you will miss it. It was a tiny fraction of a second as a pitch black stage was lit for a blip.
