To wed or not to wed…that is the question.

See Shakespeare's women at their best (or worst!) as they for one reason or another try to stop the wedding!

STARCH!
a new play by Laura Jaszcz
September 6-16, 2001 at Performanceworks
for the Vancouver Fringe Festival
Directed by Renee Iaci. Starring Daune Campbell, Diana Swayze, Gillian Morris and Laura Jaszcz.
Hey there! Hi there! Ho there! It’s 1956, a perfect time to meet June and Donna, two suburban housewives. Their aprons are pressed, their heels are high, their pearls are perfect…but when their alter egos come out to play—the white picket fences get seriously rattled!
Suburban bliss is shaken when Hornèd Moon presents Starch!, a fun, frolicking and frisky play by Laura Jaszcz. June and Donna begin a transformation, with a little help from their inner voices—two clowns named Poon and Ronna. Are June and Donna ready to leave behind their proper and perfect “Pillars of Society” personas? Will this transformation free them…or bind them?

However, despite their hardships they are not a dreary bunch but are instead full of vigour and spirit. The girls revel in their independence, but their existence is threatened when a well-meaning aristocrat attempts to 'save' the girls.
Directed by Hornèd Moon Artistic Directors Gillian Morris and Tracy Leigh Campbell, "The Gut Girls" starred Tina Moran as Lady Helena and Cyndi Janzen, Teresa Weir, Laura Jaszcz, Samantha Fletcher and Kerry Constable as the Gut Girls.

BEAUTIFUL BODIES
by Laura Cunningham
November 19–December 4 1999
Presentation House Theatre
“Red wine and Prozac – a baby shower you’ll never forget.”
The Recipe: Blend six friends from college, one jolly jumper, five Cornish hens, several jugs of red wine, a dash of hurt feelings, and a pinch of insecurity. Let simmer, then slowly bring to a boil. Lift the lid carefully, as you never know might get burned!
Beautiful Bodies is the story of six very different women struggling to preserve an old college friendship. The women reunite for a baby shower. Each is wrapped up in her own problems and what develops is a humorous, often biting look at their various situations. The cover everything from the seemingly conventional “How do you know if you’re really ready for motherhood?” to the obscure – “What do you do if you find another woman’s hair in your bed?”
Beautiful Bodies was directed by Toni Rozylo and starred Tracy Leigh Campbell, Sarah Douglas, Laura Jaszcz, Sarah Mori, Gillian Morris and Erica Nasby.
