Theatre Artists Studio Kicks Off Season with THE CEMETERY CLUB

The Cemetery Club tells the heartwarming story of three widows in Forest Hills, Queens. They are the surviving half of three sets of long-time best friends. Once a month the three women meet to pay their respects to their husbands, who are all buried in the same cemetery. But when the ritual is invaded by a living, breathing man, these three lively friends face the realities of their own futures as well as a test of true friendship.

Directed by Pamela Fields, the cast features Studio members Dolores D'Amore Goldsmith, Marney Austin, Marcia Weinberg, Al Benneian, and Barbara Acker.

The Cemetery Club runs from August 25 through September 17 at The Studio, 4848 E. Cactus Rd, #406, in Scottsdale. Show times are Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:00 p.m.
