FREAK

By Anna Jordan

directed by V Craig Heidenreich

American Premiere

October 23 - November 15, 2015

Leah is 15 and doesn’t know if she should practice her orgasm face in the mirror or play with her teddy bears. Georgie is in her 30s, but can’t seem to figure out how to be an adult. After losing her job and entering the adult entertainment industry, Georgie travels a dark path toward self-discovery. When Leah is confronted with her first sexual experience with her ultra-popular boyfriend, she comes face-to-face with the reality that adulthood is far more daunting than she’s ready for. From the playwright of Urbanite’s smash hit CHICKEN SHOP comes another thrilling examination of humanity and sexuality. What does it cost to pay for power with sex?

Contains mature themes. Viewer discretion is advised.

Approximately 80 minutes, no intermission.

"Sexually candid, well-acted and hard to forget, Freak warrants a trip to Sarasota."

-Creative Loafing (Full Review)

"Raw honesty and gutsy insight dominate this Urbanite Theatre production."

-The Observer (Full Review)

"Wallace, who seems physically transformed, is subdued but magnetic. And McCaw, who is still in her teens, is sensational. Her performance is assured and wise, with just the combination of touches of innocence and maturity, of fragility and toughness."
