"...with the audience integrated into the action, you'll never see the same show twice. So with Bite , there actually aren't any reruns, ever."
Raven Snook
"Bite is a great New York night out. Once again Horse Trade has produced a sexy comic gem and writer/director Suzanne Bachner is to be commended"

The audience participation sections are particularly fun, as audience members are plucked out of their seats and thrust into the action... The entire cast is terrific... Bite is a fun and worthwhile production. And, The Red Room is the perfect funky, intimate venue for it... Just make sure you arrive on time. Latecomers get seated on stage, in the dentist's waiting room. And, then there's no telling what'll happen next.

In BITE, comic sex farce meets choose-your-own-adventure. It intertwines the tales of two competing dentists, two dominatrixes, and a southern belle. The action begins in a sterile 5th Avenue dentist's chair and ends down in the cavities of a secret dominatrix-run dungeon with the audience in control all the way. Unlike most "interactive" theater experiences, BITE is intricately scripted and meticulously plotted with multiple outcomes at every turn. Never the same show twice, you'll want to keep coming back to get a different taste with every BITE.
The production stars Bob Brader, Robert Brown, Jennifer Gill, Theresa Goehring, Amy Overman, Justin Plowman with Naomi Warner and Peter Schuyler. BITE features
