ROMANCE AND EROTICA GATHERINGS

Forbidden Kiss

Forbidden Kiss is a hot and sexy once-a-month show, Saturdays at 8 pm, that features original material by a very talented ensemble of writer/performers. It's erotica with a twist - funny sketches, songs, burlesque, spoken word, and full-on hot and steamy monologues. The show is hosted by Cheryl King, who created the series, and usually lasts 60-70 minutes and is followed by a reception with complimentary beverages.

The Feb 18 show features Cheryl King, TC Corwin, Morgan Brett Lee, Bella da Balls, Parker Leventer, Valerie Hager, Frank Blocker, Gaby Gold, Tom Gualtieri and Elza Zagreda

Forbidden Kiss has evolved - in 2012 shows will feature more sketches, and improvisation.

Stay after the show for wine, beverages, and sexy conversation with the cast and crew!

Cheryl King, Artistic Director of Stage Left Studio, created this theatrical erotica series in September of 2005.

Cheryl hosts this show, which features 6-8 regulars and another group of special guests, all of whom present original material in this once-a-month show.

The material presented at Forbidden Kiss includes, but is not limited to, comic sketches, poetry, spoken word, scenes and monologues, dance and songs.

Forbidden Kiss shows celebrate the glory of the body, its sensuality, its beauty, and its astonishing capacity for pleasure. Forbidden Kiss also celebrates the mind, the source of all eroticism, and the mind/body synthesis that produces erotic effect.

"Why are we given bodies, and minds, that long for pleasure? Surely it is because we have something to learn from it. Those who seek to make pleasure trivial, or sinful, miss the whole point. We should revel in our capacity for erotic fulfillment."
