Returning from the 2009 Cincinnati Fringe Festival, Sex, Dreams, & Self Control is a wildly hilarious coming-out fantasy. It’s a fusion of music, spoken word, and standup comedy—- like David Sedaris with a guitar on a “sexual and romantic odyessey” (EDGE Los Angeles). This rites of passage tale presents itself bold and racy, and speaks loudly about sexuality and religion. One guitar. One man. A wild ride. Note from Kevin: I'm very pleased to present this encore performance of my show Sex, Dreams & Self Control in Cincinnati. It's been such a long journey! While on tour with my band a few years back, I began to sketch out short stories about my younger years in Southern Indiana. I had no idea it would change the course of my life entirely. Initially an experiment at standup comedy open mics; over time the vignettes morphed into a full-fledged theatre piece. It is not a memoir. I made a conscious decision to tell a story of a hero on a journey in order to enhance the tale’s universal appeal. Although the story is specific and personal, my hope is that all audiences will find humor in the pain and triumphs as well as be moved by the journey. -Kevin Thornton
