To cap off a week of nonstop cock ring controversy, our sister blog the Exhibitionist received a polite e-mail informing the editor about the latest news on nudity.

As it turns out, art is imitating  life (in the Castro, that is) with this new play debuting Friday, appropriately called The Buck Naked Church of Truth.

The play is one of seven short performances, part

of "Family Programming" from Left Coast Theatre Company.

According to an e-mail by the playwright, James A. Martin, The Buck Naked Church of Truth centers

on a young, gay Castro resident who "unexpectedly runs into his father,

who is visiting S.F. from the Midwest and doesn't know his son is a

nudist. The explosive, hilarious encounter pushes the father, who sees

himself as a liberal, to confront his real boundaries for tolerance and

acceptance."

The Buck Naked Church of Truth starts at 8 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 21 (and continues through Oct. 13), at Shelton Theater, 533 Sutter (at Powell). Admission is $15-$20.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
