Downstage, Urban Curvz and more reveal new seasons

URBAN CURVZ
“In Dough: The Politics of Martha Stewart, Lindsay Burns created a one-woman show that showcased her own sharp wit alongside her engaging presence. Turning this season from the feminine travails of the home maven’s ideology, The Vajayjay Monologues takes aim at Eve Ensler’s feminist cornerstone play, The Vagina Monologues, asking whether women are really any better off 11 years after the monologues’ premiere.
For the company’s final production of the season, Vanessa Porteous will direct Carole Frechette’s Helen’s Necklace in a translation by local playwright John Murrell.”
