September 5, 2024 – Wilton Manors, Florida – Plays of Wilton (POW!) and Ronnie Larsen Presents will present Ronnie Larsen’s very first play “Scenes From My Love Life,” a comedy about nine men looking for love and sex in San Francisco in the 1990’s.” A friend told Larsen he should write a play about his sex life and people would come. Larsen took his advice and wrote a simple play about literally just scenes from his sex life. Not scenes of him having sex, but walking around for three hours in circles at a sex club cruising and talking on a phone sex line. The play premiered at Theatre Rhinoceros in San Francisco on August 4, 1994, and received critical acclaim and played to sold out audiences for six months. “Plays out like an erotic dream…invigorating, entertaining and insightful…demands to be seen,” wrote Chad Jones, Bay Area reporter.
The play forever changed Larsen’s life. He remembers, “The audience laughed at everything and I thought to myself, maybe I can write plays that sell tickets and make people laugh. For the first time I made money in the theater, and I saw a path to actually make a living doing commercial theatrical work,” said Larsen.
Fresh off from the sold-out extension of “A Shonda, The Musical,” Christopher Ross-Dybash returns immediately to The Foundry Stage. He is joined by other returning Foundry alumni Henry Redlich, Adam Clinard, Gary Staegemann, John Crossan and Scott Jordan. Making their Foundry debuts are Matt Almeida, Elan Ezra Harari and Joseph Guidetti (POW’s associate producer/grants administrator). Ronnie Larsen will direct the production.
“Scenes From My Love Life” runs Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m., and Sunday at 3 p.m. Tickets range from $25 to $50 and are available at www.ronnielarsen.com.
