Hey everyone,

As my name sort of suggests, I'm a theatre guy - live theatre is my life, and I have been fortunate enough to live and work in this city and make a comfortable living doing what I love.

Having spent some time in this hobby, I've encountered a wide variety of ladies, from creepy to enthralling. I've often asked myself when leaving a better session, having connected with an SP on a more intellectual level, what it would be like to write a play about their lives...not about being an SP provider with all those sordid details, but their life and how being an SP has changed them and made them who they are.

Is this a pipe dream? I'm not sure how it would work theatrically, but I really haven't been able to stop thinking about the possibilities.

Now, having said that, I can't financially afford to contract a group of women out for an hour to talk to and ask questions and see if something comes of it, and I'm not sure if any ladies would allow me to take them out for coffee or lunch on a regular basis to get this idea off the ground and get the script done.

I'm not doing this to build myself up, or to smooze with the ladies...but I feel that there is a story to tell there.

Is this dumb?

I think it is a great idea. I'd be interested in writing something as well

You got tired of writing your phone number on the walls of the men's urinals?:D
 
Under The Mink

I'm planning on catching the show when it opens - but from what I hear, it's a mostly burlesque show, so I guess we'll have to wait and see.
 
It's not a bad idea for a play at all. The double standard these women deal with is incredible.

Now, the research would be interesting. You prove to CCRA that you HAD to visit SP's while researching for writing that play. The receipt thing may prove difficult..but if it works we'll all be screenwriters by next year!
