The summer of 1976 brings love, lust and fun times to 4 people in the Windy City in David Mamet’s take on relationships in Sexual Perversity in Chicago. Mark Levy and Jennifer Shorstein star as Danny and Deborah, two single people who get together in the hot bicentennial summer of ’76 during the sexual revolution, which comes into play when Danny’s womanizing best friend Bernie (Christopher Fahmie) and Deb’s bitter roommate Joan (Melody Goddell) have their own say about the roles of men and women, which serve as obstacles to the young couple’s budding relationship. The play contains extremely coarse language and sexual innuendo, so reservations will fill up fast!

She was also seen in Godspell and The Rocky Horror Show at the University of Florida, as well as College: The Musical and The Pursuit of Happiness at the Hippodrome State Theater.
