Cinema Q in March: The Witnesses

The Denver Film Society is proud to announce the March film in their monthly Cinema Q program celebrating the best in new GLBT titles coming soon to the StarzFilmCenter.
"The Witnesses" is Director André Téchiné's ("Wild Reeds") fast-paced and compelling story featuring a wonderful cast and fascinating characters, set in Paris in the mid-1980s, an era of sexual freedom. Recent parents Sarah (Emmanuelle Béart), a novelist, and Mehdi (Sami Bouajila), a vice cop, both sleep with other partners because, as Sarah says, otherwise she would feel imprisoned in their marriage. Enjoying a summer holiday at the seashore, Sarah invites her friend Adrien (Michel Blanc), a middle-aged doctor, who brings his handsome young protégé Manu (Johan Libéreau). Surprisingly, Mehdi and Manu begin a passionate affair. But everything changes when a mysterious new disease appears.

Denver Center options rights for Girls Only

The Denver Center for the Performing Arts President Randy Weeks and Denver Center Attractions Director of Programming and Operations John Ekeberg announced today that they have optioned the worldwide rights to GIRLS ONLY – The Secret Comedy of Women, by Barbara Gehring and Linda Klein. The initial production under this agreement will open at The Garner Galleria Theatre at the Denver Performing Arts Complex in September 2008, starring the authors.

“We are delighted that we’ve come to this agreement with Barbara Gehring and Linda Klein,” says Weeks. “We look forward to a successful run of the show at the Garner Galleria Theatre and are excited to share this title with our colleagues nationwide to fully realize the potential of this play on a wider scale.”

Called “raucously funny” by the Rocky Mountain News and “intelligent” and “astute” by The Denver Post, GIRLS ONLY – The Secret Comedy of Women is an original comedy that celebrates the honor, truth, humor and silliness of being a girl. With a two-woman cast and female-dominated audiences, the play has found quick popularity in its unique examination of all things girl. GIRLS ONLY – The Secret Comedy of Women is currently enjoying a sell-out extended run at The Avenue Theatre in Denver through March 2. The show was previously seen at the Winnipeg Fringe Festival.

For more information, please visit www.denvercenter.org.

The show is currently running at The Avenue Theater and the entire run is sold out. The ladies are loving this one. Especially the straight gals. My sexy friend Mike and I were walking from JR's to the Wrangler one night as the show was just getting out and those ladies were pumped up full of estrogen and thinking with their labia. Their hands went everywhere. Everywhere.
