What I liked

I thought Marty Ross’ introduction was a great way to break the ice and make people feel comfortable and a good introduction to the subject. All three actors did a great job in their roles. I also very much enjoyed the follow up discussion and was very pleased to see that at least six people were attending that had never been nude in a social setting before.

What I didn't like

Nothing in the performance itself. I only regret that more non naturist will not get to see this play because they can’t get past the fact that they will need to be part of a nude audience. I clearly understand that this is key to creating a level of comfort and openness between the audience an performers. Unfortunately, too many will not get past their insecurities and thinking that this is just a plot to see them naked. The truth is that level of comfort and openness was quite amazing.

My overall impression

It was a short simple play that highlighted the difficulties naturist have explaining there perspective of body acceptance and nudity to someone that has been raised in a society where their dress often defines the person. It clearly shows the struggles of trying to change the way our minds have been wired by years of education and peer pressure.
