  3. How to be an Ethical Slut


Experience the ride of your life as an unethical slut penetrates lies, STDs, triads, orgies, and love in her musical journey to becoming an Ethical Slut. In this bold, sexy, and vulnerable story, watch how one woman tackles topics that are often unseen onstage such as sexual health and unconventional relationship styles like polyamory and swinging.

Don't miss this an award-winning original, one-woman musical comedy show by and starring Brooke McCarthy.

It features a variety of music genres including jazz, pop, musical theater parodies, and original songs, so there is music for everyone.

Joining McCarthy for this unforgetting evening is the charming, crooning Trace Casanova, opening the show with witty parody covers of pop hits and jazz standards.
