WOMEN FULLY CLOTHED
Four female comedians team up to present a hilarious social satire on friendship, family dynamics, and self-preservation. The show explores all the angles of being a woman through sketch comedy and razor-sharp wit. Robin Duke (Saturday Night Live), Jayne Eastwood (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), Kathryn Greenwood (Whose Line Is It Anyway?), and Teresa Pavlinek (History Bites) inspire an evening of knowing-nods and laughter. Friday, April 1 and Saturday, April 2. 8 p.m. $59.50. Centrepointe Theatre, 101 Centrepointe Dr., 613-580-2700. www.womenfullyclothed.com
