Benefitting Metro Charities HIV/AIDS programs

Monday, June 23^rd and Sunday June 29^th at 7:30pm

American Stage Theatre, 163 3rd Street North, downtown St. Petersburg

Suncoast AIDS Theatre Project is celebrating Saint Pete Pride Week by presenting an original comedy by T. Scott Wooten with musical selections by Michael Raabe.  The madcap pairing of Wooten and Raabe recently created local audience favorite productions of WIZARD OF OZ and BLOWN BY THE WIND.  This fun-filled evening will not only bring a smile to your lips but bring awareness and support to People who are suffering with HIV/AIDS.  All monies raised will benefit Metro Charities PWA (People With AIDS) programs and all performers are donating their time and talents to this good cause.

ALL ABOUT STEVE is based on the Bette Davis film, All About Eve where a star, at the height of her career is idolized by a younger actor, Steve (Scott Daniel) who gets to know her as her adoring assistant.  But something sinister is afoot(!) and the fellow show people are all egomaniacs who drift in and out of Margo Channing’s (Matt McGee) life. Can Steve be trusted?  Is Margo in love and enjoying her theatre success?  Who are these other people and what do they want from Margo?  And what’s all that singing about?  You don’t want to miss what happens next… especially with local all-star Matthew McGee at the helm!

Suncoast AIDS Theatre Project is a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit organization whose mission is to raise awareness, provide assistance, and perpetuate a life of dignity for those affected and infected by HIV and AIDS.
