Shine On Productions presents THE COLANDER GALS
at the Edmonton Fringe Festival.
Set in the 1950s, The Colander Gals uses the AWI (Alberta Women’s Institute) as a vehicle for telling the fictional story of four rural women from central Alberta. The women come together as acquaintances to put on a musical variety show as a fundraiser for their community. Through the course of the play and its accompanying songs, we get snapshots of the lives of these women and the challenges, laughs and sisterhood that turn them into dear friends.
The Colander Gals is a NEW collective creation by the "Gals" of Shine On Productions (the folks who brought you the '90s Fringe hit WHATEVER LOLA WANTS) and features Hansi Klemm, Walterdale member Julie Sinclair (The Boyfriend), Walterdale member Mary Stevenson (Miss Mona in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas) and Gail Olmstead (Music Director) with dramaturgy by Walterdale member Kristen M. Finlay (former Artistic Director, Director of Nine, Rabbit Hole, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and Crimes of the Heart). Janine Hodder is our fabulous photographer. Trinity Lutheran will be also be selling refreshments starting 1-hour prior to the show.
