"Hit the streets... Strike a pose... he's a Natural Born Hooker and this is his journey through brothels, porn and five-star hotels. One boy becomes a man, turns ten thousand tricks... and lives to tell the tale."

"NATURAL BORN HOOKER" Produced by Konrad Product & Miss Darcey Leonard; Starring Aaron Orr; Written by Konrad Product; Directed by Michael Hauser

Sex work is a thriving global business: from brothels to porn to the street and five star hotels, sex is for sale 24/7. Prostitution, hooking, whoring or sex work, call it what you will, it's not for nothing that it's called the World's Oldest Profession. Whether it's a call boy turning a trick, a pimp booking a client or a male stripper dancing a set, there's always the bottom line: how much do you cost, what are you into and why are you doing this?

Cheri, Querelle, City of Night, The Happy Hooker, Dancer from the Dance, Diary of a Manhatten CallGirl... much has been written about the world of prostitutes, a demimondaine where Camille Pagillia locates the 19th Century origins of the word, "gay." Natural Born takes that notion as a cue to narratively explore the path one man travels in the process of becoming a sex worker, drawing on the hero's mythology to structure its nine 10-12 minute sequences.

Natural Born Hooker is a synthesis of monologuges, and characters, the narrative thematically driven by Madonna, survival, safety & security, love & belonging and, finally, self-actualization. At its core, NAtural Born Hooker is about the desire for escape -- from home, the present and the immediate past -- into an underworld and then up, to life in the light.

Natural Born Hooker is also the story of one recent-yet-distant era: the late 80's / 90's and early millenium. With a perspective born of time, Natural Born Hooker's 10,000 tricks become a reference point for the AIDS epedemic, our collective relationship with fame and how time shapes a personal history.

Drawing material from a diary chronicling ten years of sex work, the one man show, "NATURAL BORN HOOKER" tells the story of a functional male prostitute, examining the intersection of commerce and sexual politics that's detailed in stories of class, spirituality and the transactional nature of relationships in Hollywood. "NATURAL BORN HOOKER" deals with sex work as a thriving global business: from brothels to porn to the streets and five star hotels, "NATURAL BORN HOOKER" sex is for sale 24/7. Prostitution, hooking, whoring or sex work, call it what you will, it's not for nothing that it's called the World's Oldest Profession. Whether it's a call boy turning a trick, a pimp booking a client or a male stripper dancing a set, "NATURAL BORN HOOKER" is forever looking at the figures and doing the math: Cock (Tease) divided by Youth plus Measurements equals... Money.

At its core, "NATURAL BORN HOOKER" is about one boy's desire for escape, a singular journey fueled by Madonna that plunges him into a dark underworld, a crooked path that's navigated with well-honed survival instincts and defined by a persistent need for love and belonging. But "NATURAL BORN HOOKER" is also the larger story of one recent-yet-distant era: the late 80's, early 90's and millennium. With the perspective born of time, those ten thousand tricks (and the sex they entailed), "NATURAL BORN HOOKER" become a reference point for the AIDS epidemic, Hollywood/fame and the bittersweet passage of time.

While serving a life sentance in Hollywood, Konrad’s worked at William Morris Agency, MTV and Samuel Goldwyn Films and for several personalities including, among others, America's first reality TV star, a movie star whose features have been rendered him unreconizeable by plastic surgery and a pop star who kept getting caught in tea rooms.

"Natural Born Hooker" is a thinly veiled roman a clef drawn from Konrad Product's encyclopedic life experiences which, as might be expected, have covered the waterfront: sensualists, exhibitionists, adventurers, whores who know it and angels who haven't figured it out, sluts, survivors, saints, sinners and sugar daddies.
