Waiting for Gertie!

Season: October 4 at 4pm

About

Yes, legendary diva Cynthia Fortitude (Helen Moulder) is coming to Howick to give a musical lecture to the Howick Opera Guild (HOG). Her indefatigable accompanist, the equally legendary Miss Gertrude Rallentando, is nowhere to be found, so Cynthia must battle on without her.

 

Don't miss out. One performance only. Limited seats available.

 

In honour of Rose Beauchamp (1946 - 2022) who played the delicious character of Gertie for 30 years.

THEATREVIEW

"Cynthia’s belief and delight in what she does is likeable and infectious."  

"What really brings this concoction of delicate whimsy together and breathes life into it, is the

charm, energy and vivacity Helen Moulder brings to her creation."  

"…Moulder’s highly-polished skills as a singer, comedian and storyteller."

REGIONAL NEWS
"With her wit and many failed attempts to navigate the modern world, she has the audience in stitches from start to finish."

"The interaction is hysterical, and Moulder’s way with the audience makes the whole spectacle all the more entertaining"

"This is the most I’ve laughed all year."
