My First Time

by Ken Davenport

No matter if it was horrible or sensational. We are sure you remember your First Time.
Was it at the local wave park, a cabin in the woods or in the basement of your parents' house? Well planned or just something to get over with?
Maybe you were just disappointed because he "didn't take of his socks". Or maybe you are still waiting for that special woman - even though you are already 34 years old.

Ken Davenport’s witty, funny as well as shocking and heartbreaking play examines all those different perspectives - and many more. The stories are written by people just like you and we promise: You will go home reminiscing and laughing about your own First Time – or planning your Next.
The best part? The audience is going to be able to bring in their own stories about their very First Time. But don’t you worry – we are not going to lure you on stage. Just stay seated and enjoy the show.
