MORE ABOUT BAIT
David Sisco's BAIT is a hilarious 30-character play in which two best friends attend a "Gay Bait" singles event hoping to meet the perfect match. They soon realize, however, that the dating pool is very shallow. With just David and me portraying a gaggle of desperate men in a series of hilarious encounters, BAIT is a whirlwind of a show.
BAIT sold out its entire run at the LEFT OUT FESTIVAL and extended its run through June 28
BAIT also won 6 awards at the 2006 National Gay & Lesbian Theatre Festival
