Pigs Do Fly Productions Presents The Southeastern Premiere Of THE LADIES FOURSOME

It's the day after the funeral, and three women gather for a round of golf in honor of their recently departed play partner. A mysterious fourth joins them, and so begins a raucous and rowdy 18 holes filled with secrets, surprises, confessions... and sex. Pigs Do Fly Productions will present award-winning Canadian playwright Norm Foster's The Ladies Foursome from March 22nd - April 8th at Empire Stage in Fort Lauderdale. There will be a preview performance at 8 pm on March 21st.

The production will be directed by Genie Croft: "Welcome to the Southeastern premiere of The Ladies Foursome, a witty insightful comedy following four women as they navigate the ups and downs of life on the links," she enthuses. The fun starts at the first tee when golfer Tate starts stretching to "loosen up" and Margot does the same by cracking open a beer!

"These four women have played golf together every week for 14 years, and they believe this is the perfect way to honor their friend," she explains. "Each one of the foursome has her secrets - some have been taken to the grave, and others are revealed in moments of anger, jealously, drunkenness, and guilt. As they play the links, confessions about men, sex, love, children, and careers come to the fore as they challenge each other's views. The Ladies Foursome is a tribute to the pitfalls and pleasures of friendships and their lasting significance in our lives."

Croft has cast Janice Hamilton, Deborah Kondelik, Jacquie Laggy, and Elissa Solomon to portray her swinging foursome.

"The Ladies Foursome is so fascinating that I can hardly wait to see the production open myself!" says Pigs Do Fly Productions founder and Executive Producer Ellen Wacher. "It shows exactly what Pigs Do Fly stands for - people over 50 doing interesting things with their lives. And our director Genie Croft has created a fabulous show with this foursome."

Norm Foster is considered to be Canada's most produced playwright. He discovered his talents as a playwright in Fredericton, New Brunswick, while he was working as host of a popular morning radio show. He accompanied a friend to an audition, and landed his first acting job, as Elwood P. Dowd in Harvey, without ever having even seeing a play. Intrigued with the theatre, he set his pen to paper and wrote his first play titled Sinners.

An extremely prolific writer, Foster has had more than fifty plays produced on professional stages around the world. Other well-known plays include The Love List, The Long Weekend; Bedtime Stories; Kiss the Moon, Kiss the Sun; Storm Warning; Skin Flick; Outlaw; Hilda's Yard; On A First Name Basis; Old Love; Mending Fences and Here on the Flight Path. Frequently compared to American playwright Neil Simon, Foster pens plays that are known for their humor, accessibility, and insight into the everyday tribulations of life.

Tickets for The Ladies Foursome are $39 and are available on line at www.pigsdoflyproductions.com or by calling 866-811-4111. Performances are on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 8 pm, and on Sunday at 5 pm. All performances will take place at Empire Stage, 1104 N. Flagler Drive, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304.
