These Are the LADIES SHORTS...
Commencing by Jane Shepard and featuring Andee Cole as Kelli & Sue Hannon as Arlin
This is a story of a blind date gone wrong, but eventually, right. Kelli is excited about her blind date, but her emotions take a quick turn when she finds out her date is a lesbian named Arlin, who is equally disappointed. Explanations turn into conversations, arguments and laughter. Layers of personality are peeled until the two women find understanding. A culture clash turns into cultures commencing.
Friends of the Deceased by Jane Shepard and featuring Bridgette Martin as Lanie & Jennifer Wolbert as Vi
Two women mourning at a gravesite, find eventually, they are mourning someone other than the person in the grave. A bitter widow and a young runaway reveal disturbing stories of the man in the grave; stories that once disclosed, will set them free.
Counting to Three by Terri Collin and featuring Karen Layman-Woolston
This is a hysterically funny monologue about the trials and tribulations of motherhood. A mom begins the monologue explaining how she planned on being the perfect mother, but three boys later she says, "I'm doing a great job if my kids are still alive at the end of the day."
Act Your Age by Thomasine F. Crawford and featuring Christa Schafer as Gladys & Kathy Malick as Mary
Two senior lady golfers who are enjoying lunch at the clubhouse after a round of golf, find their conversation strays from birdies to the birdies and the bees. Although the ladies have different views on aging, they find common ground when revealing they haven’t lost their zest for one thing.
