Sacramento CA - July 1st, 2009 - The Lambda Players are proud to announce the opening of a special engagement of SIX WOMEN WITH BRAIN DEATH or Expiring Minds Want to Know, on Friday August 14th for an eight week run at the Lambda Players Studio Theatre on R Street in downtown Sacramento. This production is a tribute to the former owner, producer and director of SIX WOMEN from 1996-2006, Jackie Schultz. Jackie closed The Studio Theatre in December 2006. Her very public 12-year battle with severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has taken a serious turn in the last year, so as a tribute to her long career in Sacramento regional theatre and her many, many contributions not only to the community but also to the Lambda Players group, the Lambda Players are honored to bring SIX WOMEN to the stage under the direction of Kitty Czarnecki and Jackie's theater dream will continue with Lambda Players at the helm.

SIX WOMEN is a fast-paced, take-no-prisoners satire of life and pop culture. It is a wild and very left-of-center view of the world from an entirely feminine standpoint. In a series of bizarre but hysterical songs and sketches, the authors explore TV soap operas, "genuine press-on nails," Barbie and Ken's secret fantasy life, divas, what "is" and "is not" feminine and other topics, along with an unforgettable detour through a forest where Bambi meets Rambo. Its music is infectious and the show is the longest-running musical in Sacramento theatre history.

This limited engagement is a fundraiser for the Lambda Players, a 20-year non-profit theatre company in residence at the Studio Theatre. SX WOMEN will open on Friday August 14th for an 8-week run, playing Fri/Sat @ 8pm and Sun @ 2pm through October 4th at the Lambda Players Studio Theatre, 1028 R Street in downtown Sacramento.
