Standing Womb Only

Thursday, October 17 // Door at 7 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $20 General Admission // 18+ Recommended   Join Teresa Waldorf and six of her funny fabulous female friends for an evening of stand-up comedy, sketch comedy, zany games, song and dance as they present STANDING WOMB ONLY, Thursday, October 17th at 7:30 pm at the ZACC. Teresa has been producing and doing stand-up comedy since she turned fifty and needed to kick-start her chakra. She finds nearly everything funny and irritates a lot of people as a result. As always, The Show Room at the ZACC features a no-host in-venue bar, with beer, wine, cider, spiked selzer, and non-alcoholic options.   Joining her will be: Rosie Seitz Ayers! Rosie has been playing the extra women in Teresa’s one-woman-show for the last 15+ years but that does not mean that Teresa is over 65. She also brightens lives every day by teaching theatre to kids and by teaching Teresa how to put contacts in her phone.   Salina Chatlain! Salina did not send in a bio, so Teresa is writing it. Salina is an indoor cat, a macrame puppeteer, collects My Little Ponies, and a has a savant-like memory for everything in her Elizabeth Montgomery Wannabe life.   Anne-Marie Williams! Anne-Marie is considered funny-weird, not funny-haha by her daughters but that doesn’t stop her from being in these wing-nut shows. She has been known to dress in a scantily-clad manner on stage and looks great in hats.   Ann Szalda-Petree! Ann thought about running for office but decided comedy was a better fit. She enjoys jokes, puns, toilet humor and swearing but is not a fan of tripping or accidently running thru screen doors.    Amanda Taylor! After whispering poorly-timed and wildly inappropriate jokes to her friends for what seemed like a lifetime, Amanda stared sharing them on stage at age 37 (her jokes, not her friends). She is now guilty of testing out jokes on unsuspecting Missoulians any chance she gets.   Lois Mandelko-Steinberg! Lois spent many years working in end-of-life care. How the hell she translates that into comedy is anyone’s guess.   For further information, accessibility, and inquiries please visit https://www.zootownarts.org/meet-the-zacc/about/.
