A little ways away from here, not far, not far at all…there is a place where time stands still. Where the world outside like you and I know it-like you and I experience it doesn’t exist. It’s a secret place, a clubhouse of lush feverish dreams. Where daring truths, and ridiculous, bold faced lies are told, sometimes in whispers, or growls, and sometimes also, in anguished, relieved cries, to the beautiful women who live there.
Join Colleen Kruse and Karen Paurus for their latest installment of story and song from their recent hit show about the Lotus Center-a club where inhibitions are checked at the door and for a price, inner desires become outer reality. 18+
