“Everything I know, I learned from Dorothy!”
Have you experienced Dorothy’s legendary Sex Ed show?
After 34 glorious years with the Jersey City Department of Health & Human Services, Dorothy now brings her brilliance and signature cheeky humor to LSC After Dark as the official Sex Ed presenter for an adult-only crowd.
Expect on-theme trivia, delightfully awkward games, and prizes you’ll absolutely want to win. It’s equal parts educational and entertaining, and you never know what fascinating fact you’ll walk away with.
Your next chance to catch Dorothy in action: April 16, 2026
