SYNOPSIS
In the mid-1980s, five aging practitioners of the oldest profession are faced with a diminishing clientele, increased competition, and aching joints. With wit, compassion, and humor, they struggle to find and learn new tricks as they fight to stay in the “Life.”
ON STAGE
The cast includes Ashley Gerhardt as Ursula; Vanessa Baker as Vera; Linda Fink as Mae; Jamie Gerhardt as Lillian; and Baily Howard Leonard as Edna.
BEHIND THE SCENES
The show’s directors are Courtney McDougall and Art Rathell with stage manager Nancy Wege and producers: Brandon O’Donnell and Wendee Lewis.
