There's nothing documentary theater won't tackle, is there? Crazy Christians, hate crimes, the death penalty, and now "pegging." Pegging is, of course, the sexual act in which a woman penetrates a man's anus using a strap-on dildo—something that happens a lot more frequently than one would imagine. Dan Savage coined the term in his column in 2001, graciously creating this neologism for real-life couple John Leo and Sophie Nimmannit. The pair decided to share their indulgence with audiences in Peg-Ass-Us, which chronicles their own exploration of the act. In taking the topic on, they, well, "butt heads." But in the end, a mix of puppetry and original banjo songs relay the fruits of their anal labors.
