PLAN V
WHAT IF FEMALE PLEASURE SPARKED A REVOLUTION?
When fascism threatened humanity, Plan V emerged with a radical solution:
Reverence
Set in 2035, this satirical comedy follows an underground gathering where attendees share stories of trauma and triumph, creating a spiritual movement that honors female pleasure as the antidote to shame. Part sex-positive revival, part dystopian warning, "Plan V" transforms reverence into revolution, suggesting that in our divided world, pleasure activism might be humanity's unexpected salvation.
Through ingenious use of multi-media, O'Brien populates Mama V's world with a vibrant cast of disciples who appear via "Zype" - a futuristic communication platform where her digital characters interact with her live performance, creating a rich tapestry of testimonials, transformations, and unconventional worship.
The show's message is radically inclusive: "If you have an X chromosome - YOU BELONG!" Through a blend of humor, ritual, and theatrical innovation, "Plan V" conjures a future where the revival of Goddess worship has paved the way to peace and prosperity. Is it a sex cult? A Utopian Fallopian Fantasy? Or an ancient religion ripe for revival? The answer unfolds in this unique theatrical experience.
I created this Indiegogo specifically to support the Plan V tour across Canada. This allows for a one-time donation in exchange for a variety of perks (including ongoing access to the tour blog and a download of the show) as well as Plan V merch, personal messages, and private performances.
My patrons are the life blood of my theater company. Their support is what makes this all possible, and I am deeply committed to our ongoing relationship. I update my patrons regularly, ask for their input on important decisions, and offer perks and behind the scenes content found nowhere else. Best of all, I host regular patron parties where I design activities and games to stimulate the creative imagination, and create safe(r) space to show up as an erotic being.

It was brilliant!
I hope you’ll give yourself the gift of seeing this stunning, hilarious, insightful, rapturous, sexy, time-traveling, thrilling, one-woman (she plays many characters) “…Feminist Comedy For All Genders” show.
In this time when so many of us are overwhelmed by fear & grief, & are in so much danger, this life-affirming, sex-positive, body-positive, joyous show is hopeful, & it is balm for the body & soul."

Hi, I'm Eleanor O'Brien
I make art about SEX
Hi, I’m Eleanor. I’ve spent the last 20 years making art about sex. I am the artistic director of Dance Naked Creative, a sex-positive theater company. I believe stories are medicine, and that narratives about our erotic lives help heal shame and expand our consciousness. I create shows designed to educate and illuminate, and most importantly, entertain. I think humor is an absolute necessity when it comes to making shows that have an emotional impact. My mission is to encourage ongoing conversations and create a sense of possibility around intimacy. I believe theater is a highly effective form of propaganda (and dare I say, therapy?). And yes, I’m here to change the world, one vagina monologue at at time. 😋
