THE LOST VIRGINITY TOUR Opens 4/13 At McCadden Theatre

The Los Angeles premiere of The Lost Virginity Tour by Cricket Daniel has been announced by producers Jay Donohue and Michelle Hanzelova for a limited run at the McCadden Theatre in Hollywood.

There will be one preview performance on Friday, April 12, at 8pm. Opening is set for Saturday, April 13, at 8pm and the engagement runs through May 5 only.

Funny, profound, and provocative, this adventurous road trip through memories conjures up the choices we make that shape our lives forever - and the friendships that hold us up when we can't walk on our own. The Lost Virginity Tour is a comedy about four women recalling their first time, mining the importance of female issues, and the progress made in the past few decades.
