Where was your first time? Your wedding bed? A Burger King bathroom? Starting in 1998, over 40,000 have people anonymously posted their true first-time stories to a website (www.MyFirstTime.com). Ken Davenport then adapted those stories into a 90 minute theatrical event. Before the show, the audience is encouraged to anonymously fill out a survey about their own first time that will be woven into the show each night. Silly, sweet, absurd, funny, gay, straight, awkward and shy, all of these stories will spring to life in My First Time with just four amazing actors (Cheryl Weaver, Scott Cordes, Lauretta Pope and Keenan Manuel Ramos under the direction of Unicorn's Producing Artistic Director Cynthia Levin). You'll be reminiscing about your own first time...and thinking about your next one.
My First Time runs September 25th-October 18th with previews on September 23rd and 24th. The show plays Tuesdays through Thursdays at 7:30pm,...
