SANTA MONICA, Calif.—Adult novelty manufacturer Doc Johnson was one of the major sponsors of the play Coming Out Kinkly—A Grown Up Story, which was staged this past weekend in Santa Monica.
The opening of the one-woman comedy performance by Jean Franzblau took place May 3-4 at the Santa Monica Promenade Playhouse, and Doc Johnson supplied the show with two large gift baskets filled with products from their Black Rose collection of toys.
The baskets, both with a retail cost of $250, were raffled away as grand prizes on each night to celebrate the show’s opening weekend.
“When we heard about Coming Out Kinky, which chronicles author Jean Franzblau’s journey into the world of fetish and BDSM, we knew we wanted to offer our support in some way,” said COO Chad Braverman. “Jean’s sex-positive viewpoint is a perfect match for Doc Johnson; and our Black Rose collection, with its emphasis on upscale and sophisticated BDSM products, seemed to tie in perfectly with Jean’s concept. We made two beautiful gift baskets she could raffle away on the show’s opening weekend, and they were received wonderfully.”
Franzblau performed Coming Out Kinky to a sold-out crowd on both nights. The Black Rose baskets, along with other gifts, were raffled away at two post-show receptions at the Promenade Playhouse.
Coming Out Kinkly continues its run through June 8. For more information on performances and tickets, visit ComingOutKinkyThePlay.com.
A portion of all proceeds for Coming Out Kinky’s Los Angeles run will be donated to non-profit organization Sex Positive World.
