BWW Review: THE LEMON GIRLS OR ART FOR THE ARTLESS at La MaMa
by Derek McCracken - Mar 16, 2022
These ladies don't lunch; they launch, twist, lurch, pop and topple. Meet Lorca, Topo, Nivea and Pinny: the more-sweet-than-tart troupe in LEMON GIRLS OR ART FOR THE ARTLESS. The comedic performance-art-within-a-play follows a group of New York City senior (70ish) girlfriends, all alumnae of Lemon Elementary. As they find their footing in a youth-paced world, they step outside their comfort zones and onto the stage. Artistically in it together even if they’re not always sure what “it” is, the Lemon Girls show us that age is just a number: '5-6-7-8!'

by BWW News Desk - Jan 3, 2017
What could be more pleasant and liberating than being intoxicated, and what could at times be more horrid? Are we, by drinking, allowing our 'other side' to manifest itself in the open? What happens when we find this 'other side' too scary - or perhaps more dangerously, too attractive?
