"Jenny's House of Joy" 

by Norm Foster

Set in a house of "ill repute" in Kansas around 1870, five engaging, raucous, and life-loving "working" women set the record straight on what it takes to live and love on the frontier.  A delightful comedy about the oldest profession.

The women in this cast have been active in theater together for years, but the past 10 month have called on us to support each other with  encouragement, love, laughs, and maybe a little wine..  We've Zoomed, we've bundled up around a fire pit, we've gone for walks in every season, we've celebrated birthdays in open door garages...I think that's why the characters in Jenny's House of Joy are so dear to us.  In the end, friendship is what keeps us going!

Jenny's House of Joy is staged by arrangement with Pam Winter, GGA, www.ggagency.ca

About Herstory Theater

What started as a theater company dedicated to bringing unsung heroines of history  to life (women accused of witchcraft in early Connecticut, a loyal maid to Mark Twain) has  become a production company for many different and exciting project.  Some celebrate women, as in this production of “Jenny's House of Joy”, or earlier shows... “Love, Loss and What I Wore”, "12 Angry Women";   some honor others in history, such as "The Guys", a 9/11 play; some are just fun, such as “Hitchcock and Horror” and “It’s a Wonderful Life, a Live Radio Play”; and some stretch us in ways we never imagined, such as the staged reading of the full length musical “The Resurrectionists”.  

Covid has thrown some boulders in our way, but we persevere!  We never know what’s around the corner, but we eagerly await it all!
