Private Nature

Squirrels, sin, & shame at the suburban swinger’s club.

Private Nature Immersive Event - Main Image

Welcome to The Ranch: animal sanctuary by day, swingers club by night. With a megachurch across the highway, cops watching closely, and a community flooded with family values, "The Lifestyle" is under attack. Join six local hedonists for an evening at the "animal instincts" fundraiser to save The Ranch, while the very thing feared to tear it all down already lurks the halls. Share in the secrets, gossip, and sabotage deepest desires. Based on a real squirrel rehab center, Floorwork Art Collective’s "Private Nature" is a satiric tragicomedy about the suburbs, shame, and the lengths we'll take to feed the beasts of uncompromised comfort. Directed by Mara Einson and Sarah Powers, with an ensemble of new Floorwork creatives, Matti Parone's raucous and raunchy debut will leave you hot and bothered. Dress to theme for the animal instincts masquerade.
