Mara is a character, written into the play, How We Love/F*ck, which premiered at NYC's iconic The Cherry Lane Theatre in Fall of 2019.
The documentary style piece, written by Lillian Isabella, is based on interviews from 28 women.
It is a sex-positive response to the MeToo movement, celebrating female sexuality, and how fun sex can be.
Last year, Mara spoke on a panel of sexuality experts, to discuss the themes raised in the piece.
The panel included Barbara Carrellas, Sex/Life Coach and author of Urban Tantra: Sacred Sex for the Twenty-First Century; & Bryan Stacy and Dominick Quartuccio, sexual health advocates who co-founded “Do Inner Work” and “The Discerning Dick.”
