The acclaimed OC playwright, Chris Secor, takes his collected works to the stages in Los Angeles. Known for his fiercely witty and perfectly paced writing, Secor penetrates audiences with five provocative short plays under the collective title Permanent Erection.
Permanent Erection is the story of Peter, whose odd, three-foot permanently erect penis instantly inspires prejudice from-just about everyone. Separated from the other students and tormented by the "cool" crowd, Peter desperately tries to fit in, but has a hard time. Along his rollicking and harrowing journey for acceptance, he discovers the true beauty and glorious destiny of his three-foot permanent erection.
My Republican Boyfriend depicts the rise and ride of a relationship between Nick and Nate who try to make sense of love, in all its confusing facets; from meeting, to coming out of the closet, to the world of boyfriend and boyfriend, the mishaps and yearnings of these gay men seem timeless and universal.
The Mad Telemarketer From San Luis Obispo – What really happens to phone solicitors when they diverge from their script? In this humorous look at the secret world of telemarketers, one rebel telemarketer soon discovers that every call that he makes is an exchange for his morals, self-respect, and soul. Tom Titus of The Daily Pilot heralds this play as "a wild and wacky piece about mind control and phone solicitors filled with maximum entertainment."
Accidental Carcass – Discovering that the means do not justify the ends, two young adults accidentally kill three people and a dog with no face while they pursue their love for money and lust.
Decapitated In The Desert – When two characters in a play discover that they are two characters in a play, this question arises: Should one know their reality and risk learning unknown consequences of another or should one remain where they are and avoid the risk of tampering with what they love? Will they discover what life is like beyond the proscenium?
