First staged reading of new play by Sierra Madre local playwright.

Sex Rated G is a musical rant exploring the hypocrisy our culture embraces when it comes to sex. You will laugh, and maybe even squirm a little, as Lisa Verlo engages in a one hour show with the assistance of Christopher Allport, as they explore through song, soliloquy, poetic rant, and theatrical discourse, the subject of sex and all its connotations. https://www.facebook.com/sratedg

Trained extensively in theater, LISA VERLO draws upon every medium with improvisational resourcefulness to confront and provoke our conscience. While singing a cappella in Los Angeles area coffee houses, Lisa was asked to write and perform a song in a feature film. After recording more of her original works and playing out with an eclectic group of musicians, she had two more songs featured in a film. Eager to hit the road, Lisa spent several years touring á la self promotion style and came back to L.A. to collaborate with Chris Millner on a CD of spoken word and songs titled “HOME”. She has spent the past few years writing and recording new material in somewhat of an alternative folk pop direction. Lisa Verlo seeks, through performance of her work, to dramatize an insight of aesthetic and humanitarian purpose. https://www.lisaverlo.com
