Ensemble Studio Theatre Hosts Talk With Sex Columnists After FIVE TIMES IN ONE NIGHT Tonight

Five sex columnists will talk about sex on a panel entitled "What We Talk About When We Talk About Sex" following tonight's, March 25, 7:00pm performance of the New York Mag & Time Out Critics' Pick Five Times In One Night by Chiara Atik, directed by R.J. Tolan, at Ensemble Studio Theatre, 549 West 52nd Street.

All five members of panelists talk about sex publicly, professionally and with tremendous wit, understanding and compassion. Plays like Five Times In One Night talk about sex in front of an audience. Cultural phenomena like Fifty Shades of Grey gets everyone talking around the proverbial water cooler. But has talking about sex privately, with the people we care most about, gotten any easier? And if not, why not?

In addition to the playwright, Chiara Atik who is herself a sex columnist and author of Modern Dating: A Field Guide, the panelists are Logan Hill, advice columnist for Cosmopolitan and frequent contributor to The New York Times, Rolling Stone and Glamour, comedian Sara Benincasa (Agorafabulous: Dispatches From My Bedroom); Cosmopolitan deputy editor Marina Khidekel; and author Jeff Wilser (co-author of It's Okay to Sleep With Him on the First Date: And Every Other Rule of Dating, Debunked).

EST/Youngblood's Five Times In One Night is a Ms. Atik comic survey of sexual relations throughout human history, featuring actors Dylan Dawson and Darcy Fowler playing five different couples in five different time period. It has been extended through Sunday, April 19,

Five Times In One Night began performances Thursday, February 12, and has been filling houses at Ensemble Studio Theatre ever since!

Five Times In One Night performs through April 19. Tickets are $30, unless bought before March 25, when tickets are just $20. To order tickets call 866.811.4111 or click < www.ovationtix.com/trs/cal/134>.
