The day before Reagan gets elected, five aging prostitutes lounge in New York City’s Verdi Park. It might look like a fun day out in the sun, but they are also working. As younger competition, yuppies, and gentrification start creeping into their turf, "the girls" will do whatever it takes to keep the business going, even if it means dying on the job. Filled with music and dance, Vogel's sizzling hot play is a funny and touching celebration of the oldest profession in the world.

Tickets $17, Students & Seniors $15. Reservations: theatresouthwest.org or email tickets@theatresouthwest.org or call (713) 661 9505. (Theatre Southwest is located at 8944A Clarkcrest).
