Having put female audiences in Denver, Des Moines and Winnipeg in stitches over the past two years, the irrepressible comedy GIRLS ONLY will next debut in Charlotte, NC, playing the Stage Door Theater at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center May 7 through August 1, 2010. The Denver production of the show continues to play its regular schedule at Denver's Garner Galleria Theatre.
GIRLS ONLY, an original comedy written by Barbara Gehring and
Linda Klein, is a delightfully candid look at just what it means to be female. From diaries and first crushes to "the change" and the never-ending battle with pantyhose, GIRLS ONLY covers it all in a side-splitting take on the things all women go through together. Born out of the earnest and sweetly absurd writings the two authors discovered in their girlhood diaries, GIRLS ONLY is a mix of sketch comedy, improvisation, audience participation, and lively songs and videos.
The Charlotte cast of GIRLS ONLY will feature Bethel Caram, Diana Dresser and
Christine Rowan. Bethel Caram also starred in the Des Moines engagement of GIRLS ONLY and writes and performs sketch comedy in NYC. Her comedy credits include Legs Wide Shut at the Bank Street Theatre, NYC; Insomnia at the West Bank Theatre, NYC and Faking it, again at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, which then moved to the HBO Workspace in LA. Theatre credits include Browntown (NYC Fringe Festival/ Arab American Festival) and both national and European tours of A Chorus Line (playing Val and Kristine.)
Diana Dresser is currently in the Denver cast of the GIRLS ONLY. She has been a company member at Creede Repertory Theatre for thirteen seasons and has performed in, directed or choreographed over 25 productions there, including Kimberly Akimbo, The Memory of Water, Forever Plaid, Crazy for You, and the late night improv show Boomtown. She has also appeared with Curious Theatre Company, Arvada Center, Theatre Aspen, Theatre de la Jeune Lune and Modern Muse Theatre Company.
Christine Rowan is a regular on the Denver Center Theatre Company stage, most recently appearing in Quilters, A Christmas Carol and White Christmas. Other credits include Reluctant Pilgrim--the Lesser Known Songs of
Stephen Schwartz (New York Musical Theater Festival), FLOPZ (Joe's Pub), Embrace! (
Westside Theatre), Sacramento Music Circus,
Alabama Shakespeare Festival,
Barter Theatre, Sierra Rep,
Seaside Music Theatre and the Ryman Auditorium.
