Back by popular demand! Spermhood Mike Albo

About This Show

‘‘When Caroline asked me to be a sperm donor, I was speechless. But then I did it. And it changed everything. Jerking off in a cup is a spiritual path. Who knew.’’

Called a “wonderful performer” by The New Yorker, acclaimed writer & performer Mike Albo returns to Dixon Place, bringing his recently published Amazon Kindle Single Spermhood: Diary of a Donor to the stage. Albo gives a naked, heartfelt & hilarious account of the year he spent donating sperm for his friends, a lesbian couple.

Directed by David Schweizer, Albo explores creepy donation clinics, the painful shadow of AIDS and what being a ‘dad’ really meansall while attempting to get aroused by cheesy straight porn.

Spermhood was developed as a Dixon Place commission, with public funds from NY State Council on the Arts with the support of Gov Andrew Cuomo & the NY State Legislature, NYC Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and private funds from The Fan Fox and Leslie R. Samuels Foundation and The Peg Santvoord Foundation.
