About the Play:
Something’s rotten in Big Bone! Pretty Patty Johnson is thrilled to join the secretarial pool at the Cooney Lumber Mill under the iron-fisted leadership of sultry office manager Susan Curtis. But she soon begins to feel that all is not right: the enforced diet of Slim-Fast shakes, the strange clicking language between the girls, the monthly disappearance of a lumberjack. By the time Patty discovers murder is part of these office killers’ skill set, it’s too late to turn back! In the guise of satiric exploitation-horror, “The Secretaries” takes an unflinching look at the warping cultural expectations of femininity.
Provincetown Cares is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and funds for women’s health and breast cancer through live entertainment. Launched in 2008, it stages an original live benefit performance and silent auction each October in Provincetown, MA during Women’s Week and National Breast Cancer Awareness Month to support research, education, screening and treatment for breast cancer and other critical health issues affecting women.
Now in its seventh year, the Provincetown Cares live performance and VIP event have become an integral part of Women’s Week in Provincetown, MA. Award-winning TV and stage actors generously donate their time and talent to perform in two shows under the direction of Lynn d’Angona and participate in special events and
auctions in support of Provincetown Cares.
Proceeds from the annual live performance, VIP event and silent auction benefit local, regional and national organizations committed to cancer research, education and treatment services for women in our communities, including Helping Our Women (H.O.W.),Outer Cape Health, Fenway Community Health, and Dr. Susan Love’s Army of Women Foundation.
