Denton Performance Lab

Hey guys don't forget submissions are due this Friday for the show! I am really excited to see what everyone has to share!
We can't do this show without you!!
Send us in your ideas, poems, songs, scenes, stories, ANYTHING! :D

We've started to get some submissions. Keep sending in your work! :)

Excited to see all of the activity! If you know writers or performers who want to play, share it with them!

Chris here!
Erica and I are really excited about this project and we are calling it THE HISTORY OF HUMAN SEXUALITY and framing it in a RadioLab style of presentation. If you aren't familiar with RadioLab, I highly recommend it as an example of taking a hypothesis or starting point and exploring the subject through science, individual experiences and experts in the field.

While we are dealing with a decidedly touchy subject, this kind of thoughtful, funny and touching exploration is not only necessary but something that allows people who don't have the same experience that you do, to empathize and connect with someone else. We fear what we do not understand.

If you want to share your story but don't want to use your own name because of some sensitive nature, that is ok! If you want your name all over it and you want to participate in the creation of it and be front and center, that is ok too! We are flexible...

Submissions and Actors Needed!
