FREE CONDOMS TO ALL TICKET-HOLDERS
“Provocative, amusing and moving!” – NY Post
“A diverting evening of first-time tales that is by turns comical, erotic, sentimental, galling, heart-rendering, and even mildly political.” – Toronto Globe & Mail
“80 minutes of titillation! The theatrical equivalent of a date-movie!” – Newsday
“Funny and touching to sweet, sexy and silly!” –Village Voice
Ken Davenport (theproducersperspective.com) today announced that condoms would be distributed at all performances of his Off-Broadway hit My First Time (www.MyFirstTimeThePlay.com) in December.
Mr Davenport explains, “I recently received a comment on my blog from a young man who told me that he and his girlfriend lost their virginity to each other after seeing My First Time. Last year, a study revealed that 96% of the audience had sex immediately after seeing the show. We’ve always known that My First Time gets people in the mood, and now we just want to make sure that everyone is prepared!”
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. My First Time has been performed internationally, in Spain, Korea, Italy, Mexico, Chile, New Zealand, and Malta.
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.
Performances continue at New World Stages (340 West 50th Street, between 8th and 9th Avenues). For tickets, call Telecharge.com
