Dish-Houston

Girls Only!GIRLS ONLY - THE SECRET COMEDY OF WOMEN®, is an original comedy that celebrates the honor, truth, humor and silliness of being female.  With a two-woman cast and audiences full of raucous laughing women, the show has found quick popularity in its unique examination of all things girly.  In its Denver debut, this hit drew 96,000 women during a record-breaking run of nearly two years and 586 consecutive performances.  Now it’s Houston’s turn!!! YEA!!!  

Born out of the earnest and sweetly ridiculous writings the two authors discovered in their girlhood diaries, the GIRLS ONLY mix of sketch comedy, improvisation, audience participation, and hilarious songs and videos will remind you that underneath, women all have very funny and very charming feminine similarities.

Bring your mothers, daughters, sisters and girlfriends.  We promise you’ll leave laughing, ready to dig out your old diary.

Did the Houston scene seem a little dead Monday night March 5th? That's because more than 200 of Houston's brightest and liveliest women were at Main Street Theater for the evening's brightest attraction. They ended up having an uproarious time, hooting and hollering, some doubled up in laughter during the sneak preview of Girls Only - The Secret Comedy of Women©.  

The show, based on the teenage diaries of the two authors and the experiences of women everywhere, is set to debut in Houston September 6, 2012. Audience reception has been so extraordinary that the show has been running for more than two years in Denver and more than eight months in Minneapolis. And it opens in Pittsburgh on Memorial Day.  

At Monday's reception, authors and actresses Linda Klein and Barbara Gehring regaled the audience with stories of their creative journey and gave the receptive Houston crowd a sample vignette from the comedy. The two were in Houston last week to conduct auditions to select the local cast. Hosting the evening were the show's Houston co-producer, Sydney Greenblatt, and the founder/artistic director of Main Street Theater, Rebecca Udden. The reception's media sponsor, Beverly Denver, editor and publisher of Houston Woman Magazine joined in the fun of the evening.

Also seen in the crowd -- über-networkers Sarah Gish and Sara Speer Selber, Content Active President/CMO Lisa Holland-Nelson, Bambi McCullough, CEO of ChrysalisPartners , Greenwood King realtor, Sharon Brier with gal-pals Amy Greneder, Cookie Portnoy and Glenda Waldman, Society for the Performing Arts, marketing guru Marie Jacinto,  Main Street Theater Board Member Marian Strug, Village Frame Shop's Michele Granit, Buffalo Bayou Partnership PR Director Trudi Smith with Pat Hadley and Ellen Grodjesk and Kalyani Giri from Indo-American News.

While onstage, Barbara and Linda acknowledged Eric Malmberg, Ed.D., Texas Women's University Institute of Health Sciences as the only guy in the audience!  Eric proudly stood and introduced himself and wife Marlene.  Also enjoying the light-hearted moment were Rev. Helen Havens, Yummi Ice Cream's, Pam Reynolds, Houston City Breakfast Club Board members, Ellen Sanborn, Tuppen Bourianoff, Chandra Stone, Jo Rosenblum King, Judge Leigh Faoro Saint-Germain, Jeanette Dixon, Susie Day, and Ute Cezeaux, artists Toby Topek and Sandi Bryant-Seltzer and photographer Janice Rubin.  Reliant Park's Nina Jackson and Karen Barber, therapist Joan Brochstein, trend-setter El Matha Wilder with friend Ellen Brownback, pals Rhonda Glick and Diane Gelman, friends Amy Freeman and Betsy Siegel and Dish-Houston.com publisher Lori Freese.
