Playwright/Director John DiDonna offers a new documentary drama created through personal interviews with dancers and workers in the world of Exotic Dancing and Strip Clubs.  STRIPPED takes us on an intimate journey through their lives and loves, dreams and regrets, to paint a picture of naked truth.

Empty Spaces once again pulls together a team of its major collaborators including Co-Director Seth Kubersky ( The Rocky Horror Show, Oedipus the King ), Choreographer Anna DeMers and Composer Kevin G. Becker ( Both of Terpsichore Collective and collaborators on recent shows including Oedipus the King ) along with long time Stage Manager Dana Robbins and Tech Director and Designer Christopher Drew, and ASM/operator Courtney Hess

STRIPPED includes a diverse cast of Orlando professionals, including Sarah French, Lauren O'Quinn, Sarah Lockard, Katie Merriman, Yzaura Vanegas, and Dorothy Massey

In a unique exploration celebrating the process of original works in Central Florida , Stripped recently completed its successful workshop run at PlayFest, and is in the process of incorporating changes developed through that process, and through the talkbacks with the PlayFest audience.
