A Play by Topher Payne
Directed by Troy Lakey
April 5 - May 4, 2025
It’s 1950, and new colors are being added to the Red Scare. Two U.S. State Department employees, Bob and Norma, have been tasked with identifying sexual deviants within their ranks. There’s just one problem: Both Bob and Norma are gay and have married each other’s partners as a carefully constructed cover. Inspired by the true story of the earliest stirrings of the American gay rights movement, madcap classic sitcom-style laughs give way to provocative drama as two “All-American” couples are forced to stare down the closet door.

Regaining Intimacy: Navigating Sex & Chronic Pain
2025-04-22 17:30 - 19:00 | Sexploratorium, 1800 S Broadway, Denver, 80210
This is a compassionate and empowering class designed for individuals or couples navigating intimacy while living with chronic pain or illness. Using a holistic and psychological approach, this class explores how mindfulness, gratitude, and relaxation can transform the way we experience sex. By tuning into the present moment and cultivating self-compassion, participants will learn to release expectations, reduce anxiety, and embrace pleasure in ways that honor their bodies and boundaries. With a focus on reducing stress and fostering connection, the class encourages a new perspective on intimacy that prioritizes joy over performance.
In addition to its emphasis on mindfulness, this class offers concrete tools and techniques to make sexual experiences more comfortable and pleasurable. Participants will explore ideas such as adapting positions to reduce discomfort, incorporating pillows and other supportive props, and using alternative forms of intimacy like massage, touch, and breathwork. The class also discusses the benefits of communication—helping partners express needs, desires, and limitations with clarity and kindness. Whether participants are partnered or solo, they’ll leave with practical strategies to create a fulfilling and personalized experience of pleasure.
At its core, this class is about reclaiming intimacy as a space for connection, comfort, and self-love. By weaving together psychological techniques like gratitude for what our bodies can do and relaxation methods to calm the nervous system, participants will learn to shift their focus from limitation to possibility. This class provides a safe, inclusive environment where chronic pain or illness isn’t an obstacle but an opportunity to re-imagine intimacy in creative and fulfilling ways. Whether you are just starting to explore this journey or are looking for fresh approaches, this class offers encouragement and tools to make intimacy a more joyful and sustainable part of life.

In this class, we’ll explore how early attachment experiences influence our relationships today, unpacking different attachment styles and how they affect intimacy, conflict, and communication. You’ll learn how to recognize common trauma triggers in relationships and develop strategies for navigating them.
We’ll also dive into essential relationship skills, including setting and maintaining boundaries, identifying negative self-talk, and practicing nonviolent communication. Through interactive exercises, you’ll build confidence in advocating for your needs and fostering healthier connections with partners, friends, and family.
What you’ll gain from this class:
Insight into how trauma shapes attachment styles and relationship dynamics.
Tools for recognizing and managing relationship triggers.
Communication techniques for building trust and intimacy.
Note: This is the third class in the “Moving Through Trauma to Achieve Pleasure in Sex, Relationships, and Life” 5-class series. Each class is useful on its own, but together they create a transformative path to healing and growth. Attend a la carte or register for all five to receive a discounted rate. If you cannot make the in-person class, we can send you a recording.
