Ken Davenport (theproducersperspective.com) today announced that his Off-Broadway hit My First Time (www.MyFirstTimeThePlay.com) would close Friday January 22nd. It has played over two-and-a-half years, having opened at New World Stages on July 30th, 2007. Davenport says, "I'm thrilled that my production of My First Time has lasted a hell of a lot longer than my own first time."
Since then, My First Time has been performed across the country (licensed by Samuel French) and around the world, including in Spain, Korea, Italy, Mexico, Chile, New Zealand, and Malta.
MY FIRST TIME is the 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.
Even before its opening, My First Time quickly became the most talked about show in town, having been featured in TMZ.COM, the New York Times, Daily News, Associated Press, Playboy Magazine, and on television on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" as well as news programs on CBS, CNN, BBC, and MY9, as well as in a national Apple iPhone commercial.
In 1996, a decade before blogging began, a website was created that allowed people to anonymously share their own true stories about their ‘First Time.' The website became an instant phenomenon as over 40,000 stories poured in from around the globe that were silly, sweet, absurd, funny, heterosexual, homosexual, awkward, shy, sexy and everything in between. And now, these stories and the unique characters in them are all brought to life in MY FIRST TIME.
Remaining performances continue at New World Stages (340 West 50th Street, between 8th and 9th Avenues). For tickets, call Telecharge.com at 212/239-6200. Call 1-888-MY1-TIME or visit www.MyFirstTimeThePlay.com.
