As the meeting adjourns to the bomb shelter, things take a turn for the worse. Cramped in a small space with the last quiche on earth and the future uncertain, scandalous secrets come out and tensions (sexual and otherwise) between the women rise.

This was a fun little farce. Very quirky, but the ladies did a nice job.

Short play and funky venue, but a very funny script and a stellar cast. Had a great time.

Took a friend as part of her retroactive birthday gift and we throughly enjoyed the frenzied and high-energy hijinks of the entire cast. Being a woman of "a certain age", I can remember the fear and subsequent misguided arrangements all of America was going through during the '50s to prepare for what we thought was going to be an inevidible nuclear attack on our country. Couple that with the hysteria of five women desperately trying to hide their lesbianism from not only society but also even from themselves, and you have the working premise of "5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche" in a nutshell!

DO NOT GO TO THIS SHOW.

I had a ticket, spent my time and money on a cab to arrive at the theater and no one was there for the 10:00 pm Sat July 14th show. They had my email and phone number but did not bother to contact me. They did not even have the courtesy of putting a sign on the locked door of the Phoenix theater to tell people they weren't putting on the show.

Goldstar says their box office DID NOT tell them they cancelled the show. In fact, Goldstar sent me a reminder email the day before.

Unless you have time and money to waste, do not attend this event that is obviously managed by an amateurish organization.

Fabulous. Fun. Flawless. Short. Definitely a highly charming piece. Go see it--you'll still have time to catch dinner afterward in this early-to-bed town.
