Local storyteller Colleen Kruse's three-year stint as a sex worker provides the material for this searing, uniquely adult solo show. Employing a wry, deadpan delivery that at times morphs into a heart-stopping intensity, she relates her encounters with three clients and the various ways in which the work shaped her own sense of herself. Kruse has been developing this piece for some time and it shows; the addition of David Mann as collaborator and director has given it a polished, dangerous edge. Bring your safe word. (10 p.m. Tue., 7 p.m. Wed., 5:30 p.m. Fri., 2:30 p.m. Sun. Rarig Arena, 330 21st Av. S., Mpls.)
