About This Show

The Head Doctor is a 90-minute dance and skit performance based on the HBO Real Sex showcase of The Punany Poets. The Punany Poets Founder Jessica Holter is “The Head Doctor” a sexy red headed siren that leads a cast of three and an intimate audience of 80 into a sensually gripping explosion of sexual tales of lust & desire, pleasure and pain, sin and shame. Poetry and R&B music lay the foundation for poems, short stories and prose pieces that tell gripping and sexually charged tales of 10 colorful characters all looking for validation through sex: a housewife chained to her picket fence; a liquor store corner soap box preacher who lost her dreams in the bottle; a welfare mother standing in the welfare line with a terrible case of an itchy STD; a poor woman in love with a man who cannot support her; a woman who turns lesbian for fear of AIDS; a woman who prepares for a one night stand when she has a religious experience that reveals potential death; a prostitute on the verge of suicide; a Madame on the prowl for sexual victims; and a rape and molestation survivor. Set against a romantic backdrop of velvets and furs, The Head Doctor’s theatrical love den transforms from a bedroom to a seedy street corner during the course of the show. The production is enhanced with provocative exotic an modern dance, skits and audience roll play.

This show is for mature audiences of 18 and older.
