‘PORN’ BACK AT THE MAC!
Porn for Puritans, a comedy about relationships, sex, dating, sex, love, and sex (but not necessarily in that order), is returning to the McKinney Avenue Contemporary Theater at 3120 McKinney Avenue in Dallas for a three-week run beginning July 30.

The show, written by locals Leigh Tomlinson and Tim Wardell, was last seen at The MAC in 2004 where it enjoyed a very successful six-week run that included twenty-seven sold-out performances. The 2009 version is directed by John S. Davies and includes thirteen pages of new material. Meagan Norris has joined co-writer and original cast member Tim Wardell in this two-person comedy that explores the craziness of male/female relationships.

“The show is a comedic assault on the contradictions, inconsistencies, and foibles of contemporary romance,” says Wardell. “It’s the observations of a man and woman – their absurd, irreverent insights on everything from dating to mating and all the awkward steps in between.” He adds, “Porn for Puritans is not your usual theatre experience. It’s a unique mix of sketch comedy, monologues, dialogues, songs, and stand-up. The material comes from personal experiences – experiences that anybody that has ever been in a relationship can relate to.”

Performances are at 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday, July 30 & 31; Thursday, Friday, & Saturday August 6, 7, & 8; and Thursday, Friday, & Saturday August 13, 14, & 15. Tickets are $15.00 and can be reserved (general admission) through the McKinney Avenue Contemporary Theater box office at (214) 953-1212 or requested via email at macmembership@the-mac.org.
