GIRLS ONLY Closes at the Manitoba Theatre Centre, 4/3

After leaving 2007 Winnipeg Fringe Festival audiences in stitches, GIRLS ONLY - The Secret Comedy of Women returned to the hometown of one of its authors for a triumphant return engagement. The hit comedy was created by Winnipegger Barbara Gehring (formerly Melnyk) and Colorado native Linda Klein, both of whom will star in the Winnipeg production. GIRLS ONLY will play at the Tom Hendry Theatre at the Manitoba Theatre Centre Warehouse through April 3, 2010. The Denver production of the show will continue to play its regular schedule at Denver's Garner Galleria Theatre.

"We couldn't be happier to have our first international production of GIRLS ONLY take place in creator Barbara Gehring's hometown," said Randy Weeks, President and COO of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. "The show continues to enjoy a long running engagement in Denver, we had a very successful extended run in Des Moines, and now we are excited to bring this delightful show to audiences in Manitoba."

GIRLS ONLY, an original comedy written by Gehring and Klein, is a delightfully candid look at just what it means to be female. From diaries and first crushes to "the change" and the never-ending battle with pantyhose, GIRLS ONLY covers it all in a side-splitting take on the things all women go through together. Born out of the earnest and sweetly absurd writings the two authors discovered in their girlhood diaries, GIRLS ONLY is a mix of sketch comedy, improvisation, audience participation, and lively songs and videos.

GIRLS ONLY plays the Manitoba Theatre Centre through April 3. For show and ticket information, call the MTC Box Office at 204.942.6537, toll free at 1.877.446.4500 or visit www.mtc.mb.ca.
