OBIE-winner Rick Burkhardt (Three Pianos, The Great Hymn of Thanksgiving) imagines that no matter what your thoughts are on sex education, you've probably got questions about the New Camper movement that's sweeping the country. But he also wonders if you've actually ever met a Camper.

His new play, The Panels, conjures an America in which the government sends its teenagers to camps to undergo rigorous education in sexual experience. It's a public discussion featuring campers and counselors sharing memories and dispelling myths around this successful (some would say controversial) public health initiative. 

By showing us what we aren’t, Burkhardt – in the great tradition of Wallace Shawn, Caryl Churchill and others – shines a light on what we are.

Show Notes: No Intermission
Age Guidance: 16
Audience Advisory: No Performance 4/2 & 4/5 The nonchalance with which characters in this play describe the most sexually-explicit activity imaginable may send a shock through an audience member's mind and body.
