WOMEN OF A CERTAIN AGE CABARET AT CURTAIN CALL
Over the hill. Old geezer. Elderly.
Not long ago, these notoriously nasty euphemisms referred to people 55 or older. But now that 40 is the new 20, people in their 60s and more are more active than ever - and, dare we say, spry?
At Curtain Call, five WOMEN OF A CERTAIN AGE who have appeared on the stages there for more than 30 years, have put together a cabaret show of classic Broadway hits, a few contemporary ones, and popular standards of the 50's, 60s and more.
Faced with menopausal issues and anecdotes of surviving "the change" these talented songbirds delight audiences with their humor and reminiscences of days gone by. Lynne Colatrella, Curtain Call's co-founder and long-time actor, director and producer came up with the idea and created the show with input from her five co-stars and music director, Jerold Goldstein.
For one weekend in The Dressing Room Theatre, April 12, 13 and 14, enjoy this uniquely fun night of story-telling and song featuring Ann Alford, Lynne Colatrella, Tracey Marble, Ellen Krinick Porto and Gail Yudain. The three-piece band is led by Goldstein with Mike Marble on percussion and Nick Macri on bass.
In addition to many Broadway classiscs, the show features an opening number parody of a current hit musical (you'll have to come to find out which), written by Tracy Marble, a 1960s pop song medley arranged by Howard Kilik and an ode to the trials of auditioning by William Squier.
Seating in The Dressing Room Theatre is cabaret style with a bring your own everything format. The doors open one hour before curtain for this 90-minute program. Bring whatever you like - treat it like a picnic!
