The Performers
by David West Read

"THE PERFORMERS is like an early Neil Simon farce with an X-rated vocabulary.” —The New York Times. “How has there never been a stage show about what happens at the Adult Film Awards? A send-up of porn stars and their pals, THE PERFORMERS is totally profane and exhaustingly funny.” —Entertainment Weekly. ”That THE PERFORMERS often delights us, silly as the show can be, is a testament to Read's skillful way with a well-timed (if vulgar) remark—even when it seems mostly designed to shock the audience—and his gift for creating physical comedy.“ —TheaterMania. ”The funny thing is that the show has a pure heart and a traditional feel-good message despite the waving of adult toys, simulated sex acts and language that would trigger a seizure in a network censor. Read has somehow found sweetness in porn."
