April 8 & 9

Director Melinda Gallant is auditioning for Cougar: The Musical, written by Donna Moore. Cougar is a hilarious and insightful musical about women saying yes to life and learning that happiness lies within. The show will be performed in the Black Box Theater June 7-24.

Cougar: The Musical unleashes three divine but disillusioned women who develop a taste for hot, young men. They let their inner cougar roar and purr, finding self-love and empowerment in the process. The sexy, ferocious cast of three fabulous-over-forty women and one multi-talented boy toy sing and dance their way through a satiating range of original songs, from grinding blues, to doo-wop, to pop to Julio, a romantic ballad, sung to a vibrator. Hilarious, soulful and heartwarming, Cougar the Musical is a madcap ride from Cougar Bar, to nail salon, to boudoir, and back as the women learn to say yes to getting older, “yes” to trust and friendship and “yes to proving that love is ageless.
