MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL The Hilarious Celebration of Women and “The Change”.

Since March 2001, the hilarious show Menopause The Musical has entertained and inspired women from coast-to-coast and internationally. The work of writer Jeanie Linders, Menopause The Musical features 25 re-lyricized tunes from the ‘60s and ‘70s and culminates with a salute to women who are experiencing “The Change”.

Set in a department store, where four women with seemingly nothing in common but a black lace bra meet by chance, the musical pokes fun at things such as hot flashes, memory loss, mood swings, wrinkles, night sweats and eating binges. The show’s intended message is that menopause is a passage, but it should no longer be “The Silent Passage”. It is a stage in every woman’s life that is perfectly normal.

Menopause The Musical® has entertained audiences across the country in more than 100 cities. Each week nearly 35,000 women of all ages and stages find their spirits lifted by the show’s light-hearted look at menopause. It is estimated that nearly 10 million women in 12 countries have attended a performance since the show’s opening in Orlando, Fla., in 2001. Even men who are brave enough to come with their wives have a great time, after the show starts you can see them laughing and poking their wife and saying “That’s you honey”.

Directed by Maralyn Thoma, Artistic Director of 2nd Street Theater, the show features four talented local performers; Lyryn Cate as the Iowa Housewife, Rachel Deegan as the Professional Woman, Anne Du Fresne as the Soap Star and Lori White as the Earth Mother.

Performances are scheduled July 24th through August 30th, 2008, Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8pm and Sunday matinees at 3pm. Tickets go on sale June 2nd and are $25.00 Adults, $20.00 for Students and Seniors (62 and up). Call the Box Office at (541) 312-9626 or go online at 2ndstreettheater.com.
