Sex Esteem® Screening of Lady Parts w/ Talk by Sex Therapist Sari Cooper

Join us for a special in-person screening of Lady Parts, an award-winning dramedy inspired by a true story on Wed. June 17th at 6:30 PM at the Producers Club's Royal Theater. Lady Parts follows a young woman’s journey through years of unexplained pelvic pain, the struggle to receive an accurate diagnosis, and the deeply personal path toward healing and self-advocacy.

On the verge of finally breaking into her dream career in Los Angeles, Paige (in a hilariously deadpan performance by Valentina Tammaro) is forced to put everything on hold, move back in with her parents, and undergo a vulvar vestibulectomy, in order to alleviate years of vaginal pain. Paige’s excruciating and hilarious road to recovery makes the health and wellbeing of her lady parts a family affair, as her loving but over-enthusiastic parents learn that saying “vagina” loud and proud is the first step to advocating for women’s health. Based on writer/executive producer Bonnie Gross’s true story, Gross and director Nancy Boyd both pull from their own, horrifically cringe-worthy experiences with vaginal pain and the difficulties women face receiving treatment. Lady Parts is heartfelt, laugh-out-loud funny, and brutally honest, offering audiences a glimpse into an experience many women face, but few talk about, either on or offscreen.

Watch the trailer here:

Following the screening, there will be a special conversation between internationally recognized Certified Sex Therapist Sari Cooper author, and Founder of the Center for Love and Sex with Bonnie Gross, Executive Producer, Screenwriter, and the real-life inspiration behind the film, who will share her personal story and the journey of bringing Lady Parts to the screen. They will discuss a range of topics including: pelvic health, intimacy, relationships, stigma, and the importance of patient advocacy and compassionate care.

A portion of the evening’s proceeds will be donated to Tight Lipped, a grassroots organization led by people with chronic vulvovaginal and pelvic pain conditions. Tight Lipped works to end the stigma, isolation, and medical neglect surrounding these conditions through advocacy, education, storytelling, and community support.

We hope you’ll join us for an evening of film, conversation, and connection centered on breaking silence, building awareness, and supporting those whose experiences have too often gone unheard.
