The Civic Center Of Greater Des Moines' Announces A Four Week Extension Of GIRLS ONLY

Denver Center Attractions (DCA) announced today that the second production of the hit comedy Girls Only – The Secret Comedy of Women, now playing in partnership with the Civic Center of Greater Des Moines, has extended an additional four weeks. This production, which marks the first DCA cabaret production to open in a second market, is a part of the Prairie Meadows Temple Theater Series.  The show has been extended through June 7, 2009.  Special new group discounts have been set for performances beginning April 29.  Tickets prices for groups of 10 or more are $25 per ticket for all performances except Friday and Saturday evenings, which are $29 per ticket.

Girls Only, written by Barbara Gehring and Linda Klein of Denver, Colo., is an original comedy that celebrates the honor, truth, humor and silliness of being female.  With a two-woman cast and audiences full of raucous, laughing ladies, the show is a unique examination of all things girly.  Born out of the earnest and sweetly absurd writings the two authors discovered in their girlhood diaries, the Girls Only mix of sketch comedy, improvisation, audience participation, and lively songs and videos reminds audiences of the very funny and very charming similarities all women share.

The Des Moines cast of Girls Only features Samantha Albert, Laura Jordan and Bethel Caram.  The Denver cast of the show features Barbara Gehring, Linda Klein, Amie MacKenzie and Allison Watrous.

Girls Only is now playing in Des Moines at the Civic Center’s Temple Theater through June 7.  Tickets are available at the Civic Center Ticket Office, online at CivicCenter.org or by calling 800.745.3000.  Groups of 10 or more should call 515.246.2300.  All pricing includes a Building Restoration Fee of $2.50.
