Ronnie Larsen’s play about looking for love and sex in San Francisco in the 1990’s, Scenes From My Love Life explores the lives of nine gay men searching for both. A friend told Larsen he should write a play about his sex life and people would come. He took his advice and wrote a simple play about literally just scenes from his sex life. Not scenes of him having sex but walking around in circles at a sex club for three hours cruising and talking on a phone sex line. The play premiered at Theatre Rhinoceros in San Francisco on August 4, 1994 and received critical acclaim and played to sold out houses for six months. “Plays out like an erotic dream…invigorating, entertaining and insightful…demands to be seen.” Chad Jones, Bay Area Reporter.
The play forever changed Larsen’s life. He remembers, “The audience laughed at everything and I thought to myself, maybe I can write plays that sell tickets and make people laugh. For the first time I made money in theatre and I saw a path to actually make a living doing commercial work. ”
