Sex Crimes ... Cabaret

SEX CRIMES navigates amazing but true sexual legislation, taboos
and history in a scintillating, multi-media cabaret.

L. Gabrielle Penabaz deftly binds you with a kaleidoscopic exposé
using her films, dance, rock-n-roll, sex toys, and whatever comes
to her fishnet-twisted mind - and you don't get a safety word.

PRESS: David Cuthbert of The Times-Picayune wrote this about Sex Crimes:

"I had the most fun at New Yorker Gabrielle Penabaz's multimedia "Sex Crimes Cabaret," in which she asks, "Are you, or could you be a sex criminal?" The answer is possibly, or even probably, "Yes!" thanks to the screwed-up laws on various states' books, born of hysteria and repression.

Penabaz cuts a dangerously fetching figure in her demi-dominatrix get-ups, singing songs such as "Secret Special Toy Surprise" and "Vampire Geisha to Go," flaunting a skirt of many condoms, an amazing array of nutty sexual news reports and firsthand reportage of sex workers' lives.

She was assisted by Nicole Blackman, costumed as a police officer of arresting appeal.
"Sex Crimes Cabaret" was a wild ride; an enjoyable, stimulating, even thoughtful grab bag of audacious elements, as informative as it was daring. For instance, this was the first time I'd seen an anatomically correct male blowup doll. I mean, who knew?"

Special thanks to Kristen Evans, Dennis Monn (organizers) and Zalia Beville (tech) for a wonderful experience.
The New Orleans Fringe Festival was immaculately run and a pleasure to be a part of.

Smooches to Nicole Blackman who came down on her own dime when I least expected it and added her special magic to the otherwise "one woman" version of this show. The best parts were behind the scenes, but you'll have to wait for the memoirs. And thanks to Jim Fitzmorris for housing me and the Sex Crimes library for an indecent amount of time.
