Provocative New Musical SEX, LOVE, & YOGA Announces Cast

Producers Dr. Stephanie Torres and Bren Coombs, in association with MACHA Theatre, present a provocative new musical, "SEX, LOVE, & YOGA" written by acclaimed playwright Kate Sullivan Gibbens, who will also direct. The workshop premiere about love without labels, and the challenges that we all face in intimate relationships of every variety, opens at MACHA Theatre in West Hollywood on August 15th, 2015

ABOUT THE SHOW

Imagine that you've just met your soul mate. He's smart, sexy, charming, and even spiritual. There's just one problem. He's gay and you're not.

Sex, Love, and Yoga tells the story of two people with a spiritual connection who choose to push past their personal, physical, and spiritual boundaries in order to find out what lies beyond our labels.

Sex, Love & Yoga is a provocative new musical that invites the audience to enter into the everyday lives of seven individuals, as they attempt to navigate love and communication, whether identifying as gay, straight, transgender, or something in-between. It's about yoga and its power to help us transform from the inside out. Men, women, gay, straight, and those of us who find their identities fall somewhere in-between these labels, will see themselves in this show.

Full of discussion-provoking moments, this show delves deep into real life sexual issues such as the challenge of a sex-less marriage, overcoming sexual trauma, and sharing personal histories, as well as the excitement of a new love or finding passion in an old one. With sensitivity, humor and candor, Sex, Love & Yoga is touchingly honest and truly delightful.

Watching this show offers the rare gift of experiencing transformation, along with the characters on stage, through the experiences of sex, love & yoga.
