In this in-your-face solo performance, you will find yourself laughing, blushing, and screaming for more! Come see what Chicago raves as "candid, hilarious, and hypersexual" in the raw and edgy comedy of sexual errors, SEXomedy.

SEXomedy was created in a series of events hosted by Teatro Luna called, One Night Stands. These included Noche Bohemia's, Marimachas, and Lunadas which featured woman of color in the arts. After compiling 3 separate pieces performed at the One-Night Stands, the play was workshopped at Luna Central in August, and had its official debut in Teatro Luna's Solo Tres Festival. It is now a successful self-produced, self-directed play that has been seen on various reputable stages in Chicago.

"Forty-one years after the first edition of Our Bodies, Ourselves, a publicity-seeking moron can still get serious attention by equating contraception with sexual deviance. So God knows what sort of uproar Melissa DuPrey may create with this candid, hilarious, hypersexual monologue."-
