Audience Bares (Almost) All for Former Adult Star's Art

NEW YORK — Former porn star Annie Sprinkle stars in "Exposed: Experiments in Love, Sex, Death and Art," a new performance art show profiling her relationship with partner Elizabeth Stephen, relying heavily on open-minded audience participation.

The two performers don white lab coats during the piece, acting as research scientists eager to spread love around the world, using the audience as their messengers.

Stephens and Sprinkle tell viewers about their history together, using both comic and serious interludes to each phase of their life together. They even paused to seek input from the audience on the subject of gay marriage. (The two were too late to marry while it was legal in San Francisco, their home.)

At one point, arguably the most interactive part of the show, the couple parades into the audience holding video cameras, encouraging viewers and wannabe exhibitionists to ditch their tops and bask in the free love spirit.

Sprinkle is most recently known for her work as a sex educator, though many may remember her for her adult work in the 1970s. She is most famous for her role in "Public Cervix Announcement" and "Deep Inside Annie Sprinkle," and is the first performer to later earn her Ph.D.
