"The Cemetery Club", produced by Dawn Adamson, is worth seeing. It's a funny play with an important message: life may change, but love will always remain.
A nice story, directed by Randy Holmes. Set in Queens, NY in the autumn, it follows the lives of three longtime friends who are all widows. They form a "cemetery club", in which they go together to visit their husband's graves each month. Though they are extremely close to one another, the three women have very different personalities.
Doris (Karen Lindh) is set in her ways. She visits the cemetery faithfully, and refuses to live a life that does not somehow involve her deceased husband.
Lucille (Mary Renvall) is the complete opposite of Doris. Lucille seems to be making up for the flawed relationship she had with her husband by chasing as many men as she possibly can.
Ida (Lynne Karey-McKenna) balances out the threesome. She is slowly getting over the loss of her husband and wants some kind of change in her life. After deliberating with herself, she decides she won't go to the cemetery as often. She also starts dating Sam, (John Dawson) a friend of hers who is a widower.
Conflict arises when Doris, and Lucille, both set in their ways, don't like Ida's new outlook on life.
The play touches on many subjects and themes, some humorous while some are heartrending. "The Cemetery Club" is a comedy about love and friendship.
