About the play

The Integrity Players is a theatre company so committed to its mission to produce important yet little-known classics that it's on the verge of having to shut down permanently. Svengali producer Eddie, looking for a venue for the follow-up to his blockbuster Naked Boys Running Around Naked featuring a prominent gay porn star, makes the company an offer it may not be able to refuse. Who will the Integrity Players get into bed with to save their company? A bitingly hilarious skewering of thee-a-tah artistes as well as schlock-hawking commercial theatre impresarios, The Play About the Naked Guy is the perfect comedy to warm up those cold winter nights.

Featuring Adrian Anchondo, Timitio Artusio, Monica Cappuccini, John Ferreira, Eliza Leoni, Brian McManus, Jai Sahai, and Steven Satyricon
