Okay. So, THE WOMEN has closed. But the laughter and memories have stayed. In fact, I think one of the seats in the theatre repeats Edith's lines whenever you sit in it. :)
A last round of applause to the entire cast, crew, and production team on an incredible run. Such talent. Hugs to all.

It's FRIDAY! Another weekend of shows is upon us. The hours tick by... almost like a taxi meter counting down instead of up. All leading to the moment we sit in our chairs in the dressing room, doing our hair and makeup. Slipping into someone else's clothes, and walk, and talk. And then- we begin THE WOMEN.

"With incisive direction from Lewis and a glorious cast of pros, Theatre West's current production of The Women sparkles with truth and fun." -Don Grigware, Broadway World
Total honesty. Isn't it fun to see your name in print!? :)
"HEATHER ALYSE BECKER shines" ... "ANNE LEYDEN conspires and dishes with delight" ... "Of special note is the performance of MARIA KRESS whose wordless conveying of surprise and hurt beautifully render Mary’s sad plight to an audience that’s otherwise laughing at the repartee."

Noon Wednesday has arrived!
And thus passes another trivia-lottery. Ah, how we love to give things away! ;)
So, who plays Miriam Aarons in our fantastic production? And who played her in the 1939 film???
Why: REBECCA LANE, of course, and her predecessor, the firecracker PAULETTE GODDARD!
Congrats to the winner! We know you'll enjoy the vittles at the California Canteen, and keep your eyes on this page, all! A new trivia question MIGHT be coming your way soon.....
WE CAUGHT IT ON FILM! Director of The Women at Theatre West, Arden Lewis, leaves Lee Meriwether in charge of rehearsal and ... see what happens!?
HD Video: What happens when Asst. Director Lee Meriwether ("Batman", Miss America) takes over Theatre West's production of "The Women"?!
It's a Tuesday afternoon. Are you already day dreaming about the long weekend?
Well... just a reminder that you can get HALF PRICE tix to The Women at Theatre West via LA Stage Alliance. However, we do expect the savings to go towards roses you'll throw at our feet. ;-)
It's the Real Housewives of 1936! The Women has sex, gossip, marriage and romance. In short, everything that preoccupies the airwaves today. It was all upon the stage first.
We hate to brag....Naw. We love it.
YET ANOTHER GREAT REVIEW!

Here is a photo of The Women at Theatre West playing Bridge. Well, not really. But it could be. Or rather - it should be! Anyone from the cast up for recreating this photo this weekend?
"The dialogue is crisp and bitchy and gives the actresses something to sink their teeth into, and sink their teeth they do." --Robert Machray from Stage Happenings
Why thank you, Robert. ;)

LOVERS!
What can we say--the reviews keep rolling in! We can't help it. We're fabulous. We'd say "sue us" to finish up the classic line...but you totes can't afford it, darling, so best just not.
Can you believe how DELICIOUS ArtsInLA.com thought we were??
(They also thought we were pretty and that we'd lost weight.)
Kudos to the ladies of The Women at Theatre West for this one!

ONCE UPON A TIME: There was a group of The Women at Theatre West who received some TERRIFIC reviews on opening weekend!
And here's the first! Well done ladies!
Read it, and glory in how fabulous we are!

CURTAIN UP!
And so the final of our trivia-raffles (for the pre-run, anyway....) is OVER!
Congratulations to the winner--to be messaged after the performance, thank you muchly--of the Spoonful Restaurant gift certificate, the 2 comp. tickets, and the DVD of The Women (1939 film)! You're going to lord it over others, we hope!
..we're confident you will.
So, without further ado...WHO SAID IT???
“As if any woman needed to go to a psychoanalyst to find out she can’t trust women.”
A: Our protagonist, the effervescent MARY HAINES! Played by Goddess Maria Kress!
Break legs, all! And remember: a little Jungle Red goes a LONG way! :)
ACK! Nearly time to go and put our glamorous faces on! (Not that we're not always glamorous, but occasionally, we're especially gorgeous, just for opening night. And the occasional wet luncheon.... Look, it's always 1700 hours somewhere, darlings.)
Anyway--what that means, is you have only another 9 HOURS to answer our final pre-show trivia-raffle and win some fabulous prizes!
So like, share, and guess loves! Before the curtain rises....and closes on this opportunity!
See you in Church.
GOOD LUCK!
