Brain Death extended; Suddenly Last Summer in the wings

The Lambda Players are pleased to announce an extension of the popular run of SIX WOMEN WITH BRAIN DEATH currently playing at the Studio Theatre in downtown Sacramento. SIX WOMEN is playing Fri/Sat at 8 p.m. and Sun at 2 p.m. through October 4th. Added performances now will extend the run through Nov 1st!


(There will be no performances the weekend of the 23rd, 24th and 25th. One of the cast members, Bethany Hidden is getting married!)

Not for the faint of heart, this wild and wacky musical has re-ignited audiences! SIX WOMEN was the longest running musical in Sacramento, originally produced at the Studio Theatre from 1996-2006 under the direction of Jackie Schultz. The 2009 production, directed by Kitty Czarnecki, is perhaps wilder even than the original and is dedicated to Jackie.

The new production of SIX WOMEN is salty and frank and sometimes a little over the top, but, don't we all need a little wicked laughter as well as some side-splitting laughter to keep us going in this wretched economy. The music is infectious and the cast throws caution to the wind as they play multiple characters such as Wanda the drunken housewife hooked on Soaps, or Flower, the skunk from Bambi, or a diva riding the road to enlightenment on a spaceship, or a life-sized Barbie doll, or a slut!

Overall it is skewed to the left and no one goes unscathed.
