Full Frontal Transparency

by Jenna Jane

Sick of wasting time and effort on bad dates that go nowhere, JAIME and SAM are taking a different approach: They’re going to ask all the questions you’re not supposed to ask on a first date. There are only three rules: No more than 10 minutes. No ordering food or drinks. And no lying. OK… maybe one lie.

Sick of wasting time and effort on bad dates that go nowhere, JAIME and SAM are taking a different approach: They’re going to ask all the questions you’re not supposed to ask on a first date. There are only three rules: No more than 10 minutes. No ordering food or drinks. And no lying. OK… maybe one lie.

A note from the playwright: All roles can be performed by actors of any gender expression, any ethnicity, and any age (18+). This is a lightning fast-paced 15-minute romantic comedy with zero jokes based on gender stereotypes, sexual orientation, race, or age.

Optional: All three actors learn all three parts. At the beginning of each performance, in front of the audience, the actors draw names out of a receptacle of your choice to decide who plays which role.

    Oh my god is this play a riot! From the vividly theatrical set-up to the revelation of the final deal-breaker, this piece is tartly funny and thoroughly engaging.

    So funny! If only all dates could happen so transparently. Joke after joke landed, keeping me laughing. I was really impressed that the characters could be played by people of any gender too.
