Tickets to 'GIRLS ONLY' at New Century Theatre On Sale Today
Girls Only: The Secret Comedy of Women, the original hit comedy celebrating the honor, truth, humor and silliness of being female, returns to Minneapolis by popular demand starting Friday, Feb. 27 to Sunday, April 19, 2015. It will run at Hennepin Theatre Trust's New Century Theatre, the 250-seat intimate performance space at 615 Hennepin Avenue in City Center, downtown Minneapolis. Starring a two-woman local cast of Melanie Wehrmacher and Jen Scott, Girls Only mixes sketch comedy, improvisation, audience participation, video and raucous songs in a unique examination of all things girly. Tickets go on sale at 11 a.m. today, Nov. 14, 2014. To purchase and for more information, please visit HennepinTheatreTrust.org or call 612-455-9501.
Girls Only was created by Barbara Gehring and Linda Klein, two accomplished Denver actor/playwrights who adapted the earnest and sweetly absurd writings they re-discovered in their girlhood diaries. Since its inception, the show has been enjoyed by more than 150,000 women nationwide and in Canada, including two previous, highly successful Minneapolis runs.
Girls Only features the return of Twin Cities actors Melanie Wehrmacher and Jen Scott. Wehrmacher has performed locally at Red Eye Theatre, the Playwrights' Center and the History Theatre, as well as in New York productions such as Over the Moon at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center. Her original solo play Trip at the Provincetown Playhouse won the Jig Cook Playwriting Award. Jen Scott has performed at Brave New Workshop, Children's Theatre
Theatre Company and Park Square Theatre, among other venues. She's a regular improviser at HUGE Theater and a long time contributor to the Chicago Avenue Project.
