Hartford, CT will present My First Time on Saturday, February 6 at 9:00 p.m. and Sunday February 7 at 4:00 p.m.

Hartford, CT – My First Time, a new play in the style of The Vagina Monologues is coming to The Bushnell for two performances only on Saturday, February 6 at 9:00 p.m. and Sunday, February 7 at 4:00 p.m.  Tickets, ranging from $27.00-$35.00, are on sale now at The Bushnell Box Office, online at www.bushnell.org, or by calling 860-987-5900.

Was your first time awkward or did it feel like “Christmas morning” (Story #19553)? Were you with your high school sweetheart or with your psychology professor (Story #7779)? Were you in Washington Square Park (Story #5049) or a Burger King bathroom (Story #2995)?  If you did it, you probably remember it.  And now you can hear about everyone else’s!

My First Time is a new play in the style of The Vagina Monologues featuring four actors in hysterical and heartbreaking stories about first sexual experiences written by real people...just like you.  First sexual experiences are one of the few things that almost every single person on this planet has in common, whether you’re Paris Hilton or P. Diddy, George Clooney or George Washington, yet we rarely talk about them.  Until now.

In 1998, a decade before blogging began, a website was created that allowed people to anonymously share their own true stories about their first times.  The website became an instant phenomenon as over 40,000 stories poured in from around the globe that were silly, sweet, absurd, funny, heterosexual, homosexual, shy, sexy and everything in between.

And now, these true stories and all of the unique characters in them are brought to life by four amazing actors in the acclaimed 90 minute play, My First Time, presented by Ken Davenport, producer of Altar Boyz and creator of The Awesome 80s Prom.

So come with your friends, because My First Time will have you laughing and reminiscing about your own first time…and thinking about your next one.  My First Time…I’ll tell you mine, if you tell me yours.
