Experience the ride of your life as an unethical slut penetrates lies, STDs, triads, orgies, and love in her musical journey to becoming an Ethical Slut.
This award-winning, original one-woman musical comedy is by and starring Brooke McCarthy. In this bold, sexy, and vulnerable story, watch how one woman tackles topics that are often unseen onstage such as sexual health and unconventional relationship styles like polyamory and swinging. The show features a variety of music genres including jazz, pop, musical theater parodies, and original songs, so there is music for everyone. |
Brooke was recently the co-writer and co-director of this original play created from real Virginian's interviews about being scammed. She and Susanna Rinehart, another performance faculty member at Virginia Tech, co-directed this piece with an all star cast made up of VA Tech undergraduate students and faculty. She also performed in the show as well. It toured locally throughout Virginia to elder care facilities and played on Virginia Tech's campus.
This project is sponsored by an Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology major grant, along with the Center for Peace Studies and Violence Prevention and the Center for Gerontology. |
