Breaking Brains: A Lewd Lesson in Polyamory feels less like traditional theater and more like a lively solo lecture from someone who’s living the topic being taught. Dana Prince, performing as Miss Dana, takes the stage as a polyamorous veteran and instructor, breaking down the facts of ethical nonmonogamy. With a mix of personal storytelling and classroom-style instruction, she includes quizzes, sharpened pencils and a lot of honesty about the messy parts of open relationships. 

The show is informative without being super preachy, and is surprisingly not as lewd as I was expecting it to be. Miss Dana doesn’t wallow in raunch or shock value; instead, she focuses on real advice about new relationships, jealousy and meeting other people. For someone who is not polyamorous and may be uncomfortable at the idea — like me — the tone of this show is a lot more welcoming than judgmental, which makes the material accessible even if you don’t share the lifestyle. 

What holds the hour together is Dana’s charisma and the clarity of her lived experiences. She’s not performing a character as much as she is just sharing her reality, which makes the show feel like a workshop. That’s not a flaw, but a genre distinction. Overall, Breaking Brains is a thoughtful, funny, genuinely educational show that effectively demystifies polyamory for curious, or skeptical, audiences.
