LOS ANGELES—The world premiere of the new stage play, Mono/Poly, from Tubeman Productions will have its opening on October 4 at 8 p.m. at the Odyssey Theater—and top performer, activist and media strategist Siouxsie Q will host two polyamory-themed events in conjunction with the opening. Sex-positive influencers and allies are invited to attend a special sneak peek.
“My background is in theater, and I've been polyamorous for as long as I can remember,” said Siouxsie Q. “I'm excited to bring these two important parts of my life together and share it with Los Angeles, as well as some of my favorite adult industry influencers, including sex and trauma specialist Jimenikia Eborn, BBW starlet Genevieve LaFleur, and transgender icon and entrepreneur Buck Angel.”
Siouxsie Q has been an outspoken advocate since 2012 when she launched her popular podcast, The WhoreCast, garnering national attention. Her first book, Truth Justice, and the American Whore was released in May of 2016, and her writing and perspectives have been featured in Rolling Stone, Wired, The Face Magazine, as well as on CNN, National Public Radio and many more. Her column, “The Whore Next Door”, ran in the San Francisco Weekly from January of 2014 until she relocated to Los Angeles to lead adult film performers in a historic win against the noxious California Proposition 60 during the 2016 election. After stints as the Director of Policy and Industry Relations at the Free Speech Coalition from 2016-2017 and serving on the Board of Directors of the Adult Performer Advocacy Committee from 2017-2019, Q now works as a Policy Advocate and Organizer for the ACLU of Southern California.
Siouxsie Q and the creators behind Tubeman Productions first met back in 2017 when they collaborated on Q’s acclaimed mermaid musical, Fish Girl, during its Los Angeles and Portland debuts. She also worked with the Tubeman team during the 2019 Hollywood Fringe season, creating and implementing their influencer marketing program.
Mono/Poly is about two monogamous couples who encounter a polyamorous triad at a costume party. The triad becomes entwined in the business and personal lives of the first two couples, forcing them to re-examine their long-held beliefs about love and marriage. Although sexually free, the members of the triad adhere to their own fairly rigid ethical code. Although the new sex-comedy Mono/Poly does not contain nudity, there are frank discussions of sexuality, straight and gay, with some suggestive depiction.
This exclusive preview of the premiere production will showcase the talents of director/playwright Brian Reynolds, who will step into the starring role of Scott for one night only. After the curtain falls, journalist/performer/educator Siouxsie Q will invite the audience to stay for a live interview and Q&A with Reynolds and his executive producer (and wife) Morgan MacDouglas about their polyamorous relationship of 25 years (and counting), which served as inspiration for the play.
Q will also host a Q&A with the entire cast following the October 26 performance, in part to welcome a non-monogamy social group from the Inland Empire who will be attending that night.
Mono/Poly runs from October 3-November 10, 2019, and tickets can be purchased at MonoPolyThePlay.com.
