Chilliwack Players Guild ready to put on a show with “The Glitter Girls” comedy

CHILLIWACK — If there was ever a time in the world for some much needed comedy, laughter and entertainment, the Chilliwack Players Guild has you covered.

They’ve assembled a talented cast of performers as they present “The Glitter Girls”, a comedy by Mark Dunn, starting next week Thursday, November 23 and going until Sunday, December 3 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. Evening shows are held at 7:30 p.m., while matinee performances happen at 2 p.m.

Set in the fictional North Georgia town of Hickman Hills, this hilarious play centers around an ad hoc meeting of a women’s social club called “The Glitter Girls”. The meeting is convened by its richest member – one Trudy Tromaine – who is supposedly at death’s door and wishing to bequeath some of her millions to one lucky “Sister of the Gleam and Sparkle.” The hitch, or catch, is that it’s the members themselves who must decide who will be awarded the fortune, with hopes that the Glitter Girl they select will see it in her heart to share the money with the rest of her ‘sisters’).

The play has been characterized as Steel Magnolias meets Survivor, with an ample serving of of quirky humour thrown in for good measure.
