A collective of four one-act plays, "THE SESSIONS" explores how sex can be used to avoid the real issues in a relationship and can sometimes be the catalyst for change.
The plays introduce us to four couples: a young married couple who decides to spice up their sex life by engaging in a threesome, a 'down-low' gay couple whose relationship comes to a head when one of them is ready for a change, a couple casually dating who are forced to deal with issues of body image and societal pressures, and finally, a middle-aged married couple venture into uncharted territory when an S&M adventure goes awry.
All ‘sessions’ begin near the end of a sex act. The dialogue that follows gets to the root of what’s really going on in each relationship. Witness four couples discover what happens when the sex ends and the conversation begins.
The core meaning of “panoptic” is “an all-encompassing view”. This fit perfectly into our ideal of what theatre should be; a medium for the exploration of the human experience and the presentation of a view of that experience that considers all of its parts and elements.
Mission:
To explore the human experience through theatre.
To present a panoramic view of humanity through collaborations with artists of diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
To create experiences that entertain, inspire and challenge our audiences.
To produce innovative works that attract loyal theater-goers and reach out to audiences whom theater is rarely geared.
And most importantly, to present works about real people having real talk about real issues.
