My First Time (play)
Encyclopedia
My First Time is an off-Broadway play that opened on July 12, 2007 and is currently playing every Friday night at New World Stages. The show is based on a website that grew in popularity in 1998 "that allowed people to anonymously share their own true stories about their First Times" (http://www.myfirsttime.com/) and "features four actors in hysterical and heartbreaking stories about first sexual experiences written by real people ... just like you." Experiences submitted by the audience before the performance are featured during the show, and My First Time received press from CNN.com, TMZ and Forbes when it featured a promotion during which virgins could attend the play for free.
