Following the success of our staged reading in November 2024, and Sarah's viral Op-Ed in the New York Times, Stroller Scene is partnering with Brick Aux to present a 4 performance workshop of Strange Men by Sarah Bernstein, July 30 - August 2nd.
All of our collaborators are receiving a stipend of $500 for this project and all money raised will go towards their compensation.
Any additional money raised will first go towards production costs, followed by Stroller Scene company members working on the project who have waived their compensation fee.
Strange Men by Sarah Bernstein playing July 30-Aug 2, 2026 at Brick Aux Studio running time 100 minutes
Four men are brought together by a dating coach who promises to help them make meaningful connections with women. In this dark comedy about what it means to be a man, both the coach and his clients try to find the balance between vulnerability and masculinity without destroying each other or themselves in the process.
