WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Nothing is taboo in Jane Anderson's world premiere comedy about a high-class call girl. Charlotte is charged with escorting us through this titillating tale - she's got lube and she knows how to use it. And so does her esteemed gynecologist. As the two women's relationship develops, more than just body parts are revealed. What happens when our liberal ideals are in direct conflict with our personal lives? How far are we willing to go to prove our own open-mindedness? While this provocative play is laced with sex, bad language and nudity, The Escort, directed by Lisa Peterson, also takes us down a path of unexpected thoughtfulness and depth.

A high-priced call girl, Charlotte forms an unusual bond with her OB-GYN Dr. Rhona Bloom (Polly Draper), who is balancing her successful career with her stressful parenting of her 13-year-old son Lewis (Gabriel Sunday). Meeting Charlotte opens Rhona up sexually, and the good doctor soon contemplates hiring a male to satisfy her suppressed lon[...]
