TOSOS presents
"The Secretaries" is EXTENDED in Fringe Encores! Four more Sept. performances!
"Under any circumstances, do NOT miss "The Secretaries," currently sharing the Lucille Lortel Theatre with several other Fringe Festival entries. Written by the gifted Five Lesbian Brothers, it is screamingly funny, effectively and swiftly directed by Mark Finley (who did an amazing job with "Pig Tale" a ...few years back), and showcases the most captivating group of actresses in town. This is what ensemble acting is all about. I defy you to pick out the best one; it's simply impossible, they are all just perfect. "The Secretaries" has four more performances...May I suggest you get your tickets ASAP? If not, I fear that once the word of mouth gets around, you'll be standing on the outside looking in. Don't say you haven't been warned!

ADDED PERFORMANCES:
Set in the mill town of Big Bone, Oregon, The Secretaries follows the lives of five women who work in the office of Cooney Lumber, where every 30 days…well something involving chainsaws and lumberjacks happens. And it’s not pretty. The story is told in flashback by Patty Johnson (Elizabeth Whitney), as she recalls her initiation into the cult-like Cooney coven, led by Susan Curtis (Jamie Heinlein). Office suck-up Ashley Elizabeth Fratangelo (Karen Stanion) is jealous of the new arrival; office lesbian Dawn Midnight (Virginia Baeta) wants to go out with her (as does lumberjack Buzz Benikee, played by Baeta in a dual role); and Peaches Martin (Elizabeth Bell), just wants to eat something.
