L. Gabrielle Penabaz's Sex Crimes Cabaret is a theatrical cavalcade of smart-yet-titillating art-utainment that's also a history lesson about sexual practices (between consenting adults) that have been outlawed in the United States, and other seemingly impossible ways we used to think about nookie.

"Sex Crimes Cabaret is L. Gabrielle Penabaz sonic and visual take on tragic but true sexual legislation from the past and present. Penabaz combines the passionate thoroughness of an academic with the humorous and pointed commentary of a first-rate satirist. Helping to make the medicine go down? Plenty of song and dance!"

"I had the most fun at New Yorker Gabrielle Penabaz's multimedia "Sex Crimes Cabaret," in which she asks, "Are you, or could you be a sex criminal?" The answer is possibly, or even probably, "Yes!" thanks to the screwed-up laws on various states' books, born of hysteria and repression.

It’s said that nothing takes the fun out of sex like talking about it. I suppose by extension, litigating about it must be that much less pleasurable. Which isn’t to say that those laws aren’t kind of funny. That’s the point of L. Gabrielle Penabaz’s Sex Crimes Cabaret, which returns to New Orleans after a sold-out fall run in the New Orleans Fringe Festival. Penabaz details what you can and can’t do where (geographically and anatomically) and addresses other issues of taboo. The show is coupled with several other short pieces by local artists. The run is from Thursday to Saturday (9 p.m. March 12-14, plus a midnight show on Saturday) at Marigny Theatre.

"Be prepared to have your eyes tantalized, your belly laughing, your sexuality questioned and your mind seduced. This one woman show is way more than mere show. It's a trip unto itself.
Gabrielle St. Eve's Sex Crimes show draws you in like whispered secret and knocks you back like electro shock. It's the only way to go."

THEATRE GOERS:

"Seeing the Sex Crimes Cabaret made me realize how new the sexual revolution is. It re-energized me to take a stand for my own right to my sexuality as a woman, and it made me want to encourage others to do the same. Who would have thought a woman with a skirt made of vibrators could have had such a positive impact on my life?"
-Kassie Olivera, of Salem Oregon

"It was a FANTASTIC performance, funny as hell, easy on the eyes and thoroughly enjoyable!
You guys who are going to go are in for a special treat. Everyone that misses this... shouldnt! Get yer asses a ticket and GO!"
Ken Kenagain NYC
