Last year when we performed Girls’ Weekend all the shows were sold out, everyone laughed, and many glasses of Carlos Creek wine were consumed so we are bringing the show back. Girls’ Weekend is a lightning-quick farce, four women travel to Dot’s Northwoods cabin to consume copious amounts of wine, laugh at their lives, trade stories and chat about their book club’s latest selection. However, after the third case of wine comes through the door, it becomes clear there will be more stewing than reviewing. Unknown to each other, the four women try to sneak men into their girls-only weekend cabin. I mean, girls will be girls. If you want to laugh, you want to see this show. This show is Rated R for sexual humor. Doors open at 1:30pm. Information Source: Carlos Creek Winery | eventbrite
