Webcam
Cory needs to pay for school and thinks taking his clothes off online is a great way to do it. His best friend has objections - and other feelings, too. Maybe sex work wasn't such a great idea after all? Or maybe it was. It's complicated!
It’s A play about intimacy, loneliness, and sex work.
You can see it one-night only at the Cincinnati Fringe Festival. Tickets and passes are available here.
