Dames Like Her
Hilarious and fearless, Dames Like Us
goes straight for the funny in its mission
to politely demolish long-held stereotypes
of women "of a certain age".
Like the groundbreaking Vagina Monologues
but less vagina, more laughs.
Audiences are welcomed by Sofia, an Argentinian bikini-waxer who is the take-no-prisoners proprietress of Salon de Sofia, a tiny NYC salon spa.
Dames Like Her
is now
Although she originally performed the play solo, Rizzo is now joined by three of
NY's top character actresses as they all move from wig to wig - transforming themselves into a series of beauty technicians and their diverse clientele,
mature women with surprising pasts, sturdy opinions and enduring passions.
Outrageously honest as it is funny, the play touches on some taboo hotspots, sexual, political and otherwise, blowing the lid off what is really said in the company of dames.
While it may be geared to the baby-boomer generation, millenials and gen-Xers swear it also speaks directly to life in the 21st Century.
Dames Like Us remains always fresh and topical with its innovative rotating characters and cast - so feel free to come back again!
"The writing is just brilliant
and her performance is impeccable."
