My First Time – New World Stages / Stage 5 (Off Broadway)
My First Time, recently featured on CNN, Fox, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and in an iPhone commercial, is a brand new play in the style of The Vagina Monologues, featuring four actors in hysterical and heartbreaking stories about first sexual experiences written by real people . . . just like you!
“New York’s Best New Play!” . . . “Screamingly Funny!” . . . “Provocative, amusing and moving!” . . . “80 minutes of titillation – the theatrical equivalent of a date-movie!” are just a few of the things critics like the NY Post and Newsday have called this “diverting evening of first-time tales that is by turns comical, erotic, sentimental, galling, heart-rendering, and even mildly political.” (Toronto Globe & Mail).
