Sex Marks The Spot June 14, 2010

New Lincoln Theatre Productions is proud to present the return of Sex Marks the Spot, the incredibly funny political comedy by Charles Grippo, which played to sell out audiences in a limited engagement in January, 2010, at the Theatre Building Chicago. Directed by Damian Arnold, this brand new remounting of the show begins previews June 11, 2010, opens June 14, 2010 for the press, and runs through July 25, 2010, at the Theatre Building Chicago, 1225 W. Belmont in Chicago.
A few weeks before the election, Senator Clooney’s mistress – porn star Desiree Le Bonque - threatens to reveal their affair on national television. Like any good politician worth his weight in cover ups, the Senator drugs her and forces his campaign manager and his press secretary to help him hide the burgeoning scandal from his suspicious wife, the press, and a detective who would like to be Sam Spade except God forgot to give him brains. But his efforts at spin control spin wildly out of control when his son, a marine sergeant, comes home with a secret and the campaign manager. The press secretary and even a nosy reporter reveal secrets of their own. Complication piles upon complication, until all of the characters’ secrets and the Senator’s increasingly outrageous attempts at damage control collide in the play’s hilarious conclusion.
