CoHo Presents LIVE GIRLS 7/8-8/7

Opening this week, CoHo Productions brings you its centerpiece summer co-production - the world premiere of Live Girls by Natalie Rose. This play offers a view of strippers and the world that you won't otherwise see. From the perspective of a fly on the wall in the locker room, a very private space where women prepare themselves, for reasons gradually revealed, to go onstage baring much more than their souls.

The cast gives their all in showing the back side of the entertainment industry, the legal part of the sex industry. Working from a script taken from the playwright's own personal experience, our actors bring out the real women behind the showgirls, and take you along with them into the depths, and to the empowering heights, of making their own way in a specialized world few of us really understand.

Tickets are $18 for adults, and $10 for students, educators, and 60+

We're more than aware of the taboos surrounding this play and the risqué content, which is why we feel we'd be remiss if we didn't spark a dialogue. Stay tuned for updates on our website for the dates of talkbacks with the playwright and cast opening and closing weekend. We'll offer panel discussions with representatives from agencies dealing with sexual assault, domestic violence and other related social services. We'll also cover the brighter side of the industry with professional exotic dancers and sex workers, in-theater amateur stripping lessons for the more adventuresome, sex-toy parties unlike any Tupperware-get-together you've ever been attended, and discussions with erotic couples counselors.
Advisory - should you have doubted it, this production of Live Girls contains plentiful adult language, content and situations, and partial nudity.
