Locker Room Talk Rania Rashoodi, Rachel Ann Giambrone, Ashley Antonia Lopez, Kayla Alperson

About This Show

Too often, men are pardoned for chauvinistic language, regarding it simply as Locker Room Talk this play examines what might happen if a female locker room  used similar language. Gender roles are reversed in this athletically stylized work, as waves of arousal inhabit ladies at a gym, stripping them of their traditional values. This satire may or may not answer the burning question behind the female orgasm.
