Lights Up! Slap & Tickle: A New American Play in Provincetown is a movie that explores the complexities of sexuality in a small town. The film follows the story of a group of friends who are all trying to figure out their own sexual identities in the midst of a conservative community.
The movie is filled with sexual moments that range from awkward to passionate. One of the most memorable scenes is when two of the characters, Jack and Sarah, share a passionate kiss in the middle of a crowded bar. The kiss is a powerful moment that shows how two people can find love and acceptance in a place that is often hostile to different sexual orientations.
The movie also features a number of other sexual moments, including a scene where two of the characters, Sam and Emily, explore their own sexuality in a bedroom. The scene is both tender and intimate, and it shows how two people can explore their own desires without fear of judgment.

The stage play, Slap&Tickle, that is the subject of this documentary honestly and frankly discusses aspects of adult gay male sexuality in the setting of a gay bathhouse. The actors are partly nude throughout the play (wearing gym towels) while full frontal nudity is fleetingly glimpsed.
Themes include modern gay man's quest for sexual and emotional fulfillment in a landscape changed over the past 25 years by drugs, politics, HIV and the internet. Six actors portray twenty characters whose spoken stories discuss first kisses to last loves; on-line hookups to off-line breakups; sleeping bag seductions and rape. Like Terrence McNallys The Ritz and Eve Enslers The Vagina Monologues, David Parrs Slap & Tickle shines fresh light on defining experiences of gay lives. What emerges is a play not just about sex but about the universal desire to connect.
