Vagina Monologues in Boquete
Posted by editor on June 19, 2009
What better place to hear a discussion of the Vagina Monologues in Boquete Panama than the mens room during the intermission. The conversation around the urinals was to the point, FANTASTIC.
Director Jim Hatch was able to coax amazing performances out of Boquete’s most talented female actresses. Excellence in a high risk context, of a play that was not a musical, despite the empassioned moaning of Yella Weder, nor a comedy, despite all the laughter from an engrossed audience.
The monologues were exceptional. The simple set and theme of black allowed the talent to dominate. Each performer, Dana Applegate, Diane Heidke, Phyllis McNaughton, Donna O’Toole, Pam Pankrantz, Susan Thoms, Yella Werder and Elizabeth Worley was fantastic.
From the sorrows of a Bosnian rape victim done by Elizabeth Worley, the angry comedic Vagina done by Phyllis and the Little Coochie Snorher of Pam Pankrantz, the cast covered then entire gamut of emotions. We drowned with Susan Thoms and we were entranced by the ecstasy of Donna O’Toole. It was amazing.
The final monologue performed by a newcomer to Boquete theater, Yella Werder was amazing with both her acknowledged skill as a singer and her recently discovered thespian abilities. I for one, was impressed as were the others in attendance.
