Surviving quarantine has forced people to take a variety of measures online to socialize. Surprisingly, it turns out, that even includes naturists (nudists!). More home time has led to more nude time with some naturist organizations reporting an increase in membership through events hosted on virtual platforms. Hollywood-based director/writer/actor Troy Peterson noticed this trend. As a subscriber to naturist ideals himself, he reasoned “If you don’t need to put on pants to work from home, then why put on pants to put on a show?”
Thus “Disrobed – The Virtual Event” was born, based on the goofy and irreverent stage comedy “Disrobed: Why So Clothes-Minded?”, a breakout hit from 2019’s Hollywood Fringe Theatre Festival. Notorious for not only featuring an entirely naked cast, but for requiring audiences to attend the show au natural as well, “Disrobed” has now been adapted as a unique film/theatre hybrid performance for three shows only, streaming on January 15, 16, and 17.
