It’s New Year’s Eve and Ed is lamenting the end of yet another relationship. On Christmas Eve he cheated on his fiancee with a cousin at the family holiday gathering. He ends up yelling at his penis, blaming him for all his infidelities. An actor appears to play the part of the penis and explain the real facts of life and relationships to poor Ed. All Ed wants is a long term relationship. All his Penis wants is a little respect. The ex-fiancee arrives to attempt to finalize the break up only to face off with Ed’s Penis. This hilarious romp through the epitome of testosterone is not to be missed. There is both a straight and gay version of this play and we are offering both!

Black Stockings
Written by Peter McGarry
Directed by Winnie Wenglewick
April 1 – May 7, 2011
Friday & Saturday at 7:00
Tickets $10.00

The atrocities of war are undeniably immoral. Being a sex worker can also be viewed as immoral. This play is about both, war and sex. It is a morality play, a musical morality play. A truly dangerous play. Does the passage of time make war atrocities less vulgar, less immoral? Have modern warfare tactics changed the ruler in which we measure what is acceptable? Or are we too busy concentrating on sex to care about war. It is a filthy play, downright vulgar. Then again, so is war, and sex.
