Sex, wieners and boobs are coming to Penn State's No Refund Theatre (NRT) this week.

A cast of nine NRT members will perform SEX, a.k.a. Wieners and Boobs at 8 p.m. tomorrow and Saturday in 111 Forum.

The director, Jeff Kornberg (sophomore-English), said the cast for the show is small, but there are about 30 characters in the play.

All the members of the cast play at least four characters, but some play as many as 12.

Kornberg said the main reason he wanted to do the play was because he was familiar with the TV show Stella and the movie Wet Hot American Summer, both of which are also works of writers Joe Lo Truglio, Michael Showalter and David Wain.

He got the idea for the script on Stella's Web site and thought it would be up his alley because they have the same kind of humor, he said.

"The style of humor is very similar -- even a little more nonsensical," actor Tim Portnoy (junior-theatre) said.

Even though SEX, a.k.a. Wieners and Boobs uses the same format for humor as other well-known shows, it has a different plot.

"It is such a unique, completely different-than-anything-I've-read play that it seemed like an experience I had to be a part of," actor James P. Marsh (freshman-theatre) said.

Another actress, Kelly Fitzpatrick (freshman-theatre), said the script is so random and hilarious that there is no clear plot.

"We had a lot of say as to certain aspects of the play. It is fun to play around with," Fitzpatrick said.

Kornberg explained the story line.

"It's a town overrun by hookers and gigolos, and there's a new sheriff in town that wants to put a stop to it," Kornberg said. "It's Sheriff Jack Greenberg, who wants to stop the brothels from polluting the town, versus evil Tad Theaterman, who owns all the boobs and wieners of the town. He runs the brothels."

However sexual this play might seem, Kornberg insisted that it doesn't merely focus on funny sex words or situations to get laughs.

"The entire joke isn't a big sex joke -- that's too easy, and they don't just go for the easy stuff all the time, which is good," Kornberg said.

Marsh also discussed the plot of the play.

"Basic idea: Small town New Jersey is overrun by a growing prostitution ring, but it strays," Marsh said.

Whatever characters the actors might be playing in SEX, a.k.a. Wieners and Boobs, they try to find their own ways of adding as much humor as possible to their performances.

"[The characters] bring a certain personali-tee, personali-tie to the show. It's our jobs as the characters in the play to bring that out," NRT member Dan Kirchheimer (sophomore-energy, business and finance) said.

The play is bizarre, unique and absolutely hilarious, Marsh said. Although it might not be for all audiences, he warned.

"I think it's going to be perfect for the college audience. I mean, you're not going to bring teachers or kids here, but it's hilarious," Marsh said.
