The Cemetery Club, written by Ivan Menchell, is a tender and poignant comedy about three 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. Shows are February 22, 23, 29 & March 1, 2008, at 7:30 p.m. and February 24 & March 2, 2008, at
2:00 p.m. at the Decatur Civic Center Theater. Tickets are $12. |
