Missionary Position: Pleasure Journeys for the Intrepid Lady Explorer

Amelia Weatherbeaten (Caroline Reck) and Eleanor Dangerbottom (Cami Alys) are Victorian-era Lady Explorers and Spokeswomen for Hartman’s Hygenic Towellettes for Ladies, the first commercially available menstrual products for women. They travel around the world at the turn of the 19th century, hocking their products and lecturing hilariously on topics of interest to the Society of Learned Ladies, Where Ladies Share Knowledge with Ladies. (That’s you.) They have arrived with their collection of travel curios to set you straight on what you thought you didn’t think you needed to know. Part P.T. Barnum sideshow, part Victorian Geographical Salon, these ladies will offer a seat at their table but you won’t stay in it for long. Anticipate a raucous, interactive, inventive evening that kicks the stuffing out of stuffy, um, “period” theater.

  (Missionary Position: Session One was presented in 2013 at SVT. This is a multi-episode series, but you don’t need to have seen Session One to attend Session Two.)

Caroline Reck, Writer/Director (winner of multiple B Iden Payne & Austin Critic’s Table awards for Original Script and Outstanding Direction) has teamed up with Cami Alys (Intergalactic Nemesis, Industry Night) to devise this original series featuring themselves as the ladies, with Jay Byrd (September 10th – 20th) and Rudy Ramirez (September 24th-26th) as the Grande Dames of the Society for Learned Ladies. Sound by K. Eliot Haynes, Lighting by Sadie Langenkamp, Costumes by Pam Friday, Puppets by Caroline Reck.
