The Cemetery Club by Ivan Menchell, is a hilarious play about three Jewish widows who meet once a month for tea before going to visit their husband's graves. Ida is sweet-tempered and ready to begin a new life. Lucille is a feisty embodiment of the girl who just wants to have fun, and Doris is priggish and judgmental, particularly when Sam the butcher enters the scene. He meets the widows while visiting his wife's grave. Doris and Lucille squash the budding romance between Sam and Ida. They are guilt-stricken when this nearly breaks Ida's heart. This promises to be an evening of pure pleasure that will make you glad you went to the theatre with rich, funny, sweet-tempered and memorable characters.
The action of the play takes place in the living room of Ida's house and at the cemetery in Forest Hills, Queens during the autumn of 1987. The show calls for four women and one man of the following types:
|
IDA, late fifties, unsure about how to start up again after her husband's passing | |
|
LUCILLE, late fifties-early sixties, feisty, the "wild one" of the group, or so she would have everyone believe | |
|
DORIS, early sixties, the conservative one, still devoted to her husband | |
|
SAM, late fifties-early sixties, trying to start life again, interested in Ida | |
|
MILDRED, late fifties, Sam's "date" to one of the group's friend's wedding |
Auditions for this production will be mid January, 2009.
