Kimberly Dark: "Stripped & Teased: Scandalous Stories with Subversive Subplots"

Rated one of the top ten best theatre productions in 2006 by Curve Magazine, “Stripped and Teased” is a solo performance, in which Kimberly Dark challenges the audience's concepts of sex and gender roles via smart and vibrant storytelling, passionate poetry and intimate audience interaction. Dark’s shows are likened more to "stand-up storytelling" than a traditional theatre show and her website claims the audience will laugh, think and be amazed that an evening of theatre can be so intimate, thought provoking and entertaining all at the same time.

"Dark's Stripped and Teased is a wild romp through the issues of gender (in)equity and of (un)fettered sexuality, body image and the social construction of gender, and the economics of being female. Using women who work as strippers as a unifying theme throughout the show, Dark brilliantly illuminates how stereotypical views of femininity are not just ridiculous, but ultimately harmful to us all." -Hawaii Island Journal
