"My First Time" - July 15, 2007

I'm in an off-Broadway play right now at New World Stages called "My First Time," a play kind of like "The Vagina Monologues," where four actors recite stories of sweet, heartbreaking, and sometimes lascivious sexual firsts.

I usually only do ONE play in NYC a year because the whole process of theatre (with an -re) acting is a drain on my balls, but this one is short and pretty fun. The play runs every THURSDAY, FRIDAY, and SATURDAY for the next four-five months. Anyone who wants to come to my off-Broadway show for the FRIENDS and FAMILY VIP RATE of $20 a ticket, please let me know! The show has been selling really well, so I can't offer comps, but it really is a great show and PERFECT for date night, since chances are you will get laid after watching the show.

It was recently featured on Access Hollywood, CNN, FOX NEWS, The New York Post, E! Entertainment, Inside Edition, The New York Times, and The Wichita Falls Morning Gazette!

Here's a little blurb on the play from the International Herald Tribune:

NEW YORK: How do you prove you're a virgin in the town that inspired "Sex and the City"?

The producers of an off-Broadway show are giving away free tickets to anyone who can demonstrate his or her chastity.

Which raises the question: Just how will the theater know?

Producer Ken Davenport, 34, had a hypnotist screen people standing in line for the free tickets to Thursday's first preview of his 90-minute comedy, "My First Time," and determine their status.

The show, which opens July 28, is based on a decade-old Web site that invites people to anonymously share their stories about losing their virginity: "I still have the Metallica shirt he wore that night," one person wrote on the Web site.

Davenport's human lie detector, Sebastian Black, described himself as a mind reader and a psychic hypnotist. Davenport called him "a master of body language and tone of voice." About three dozen prospective virgins stood before the 55-year-old hypnotist. He held each one's hand, probing each face as he asked simple questions about their daily life--then threw some a curve ball, "When was your first time?"

Kelly Meneer, a vivacious 22-year-old who studies acting, walked away a shoo-in."He knows my pathetic love life!" she said with a big smile, glancing at a male friend.

Then came the "half-virgin"--as Terry Bedesi described himself. Explained the 23-year-old bookseller: "There's certain parts of me that's still a virgin."A no-go.Davenport said the virgin stunt serves the subject of the play--"which is to get people to talk about their first sexual experience, something that almost any person on the planet has in common, whether in the United States or Rome."

He could not say how many virgins were admitted to the theater."There are a limited number of virgin tickets available," he said, adding, "However, there are not that many virgins in New York City."
