Lauren & Amanda Do It

Toasted Theatre Company—Planetarium

As the write-up suggests, this talk show explores sex with no limits. They invite audience participation and the energy of the audience goes along way in driving the show. By all means, sit near the front if you want to guide the show and possible win some rewards!

Some of the informative info underlines the theme of what they try to accomplish here, which is to educate the audience about sex issues. A volunteer from the audience dictates the discussion topic, and today’s happens to be “sex work.” No one thinks past the stage when you consider dancing but there’s a lot more to it than accepting a job to disrobe (bet you didn’t know you need a license?!). I would have liked to see a lot more of this kind of depth.

The guest speaker can drag a bit—after all, who’s really that interested in his sex life? The games are fun so I would have liked to have seen more games and more educational material. Still, this is a fun show so long as you have no problems with people talking about sex explicitly.
