Ages: Passionate & Powerful - Jessica Holter's Don't Say The "P" Word is a theatrical study in the politics of contemporary relationships, sexual health, self-worth and spirituality.

Laced with elements of comedy, poetry and theatrics, the script is adapted from the collective works from the author and activist, who created the most controversial brand in spoken word, shocking the world with an HBO feature that put the "P" word in the mouths of hypocrites with a strangely erotic twist on AIDS awareness.

Since their television debut in 2000, The Punany Poets have created a cult following that spans three generations, from young people in the twilight of their sexual lives, to seniors who refuse to allow their erotic sun to set.

In Don't Say The "P" Word, Holter expands into the fullness of herself as a producer, writer and gifted orator in a performance that will touch all of your senses. From foster care to theatrical savoir faire, Holter (also known as Ghetto Girl Blue) emerges as a contemporary voice for ghetto politics, religion and sexuality as it exists below the poverty level.

The lawless lover, the humble Christian housewife and the wholesome hottie all find themselves with an equal stake in this bustling city of words and wisdom, as their tales converge in this witty and thoughtful show about self-love and the laws of urban attraction.

Alphabetically and Ebonically speaking, Don't Say The "P" Word will redefine the word P in your mind, while arresting your sensitive zones with intimate storytelling and soul-stirring poems.
