Laughter and Music Await in ‘Menopause 2’ Premiere in Prince Albert

The highly anticipated production of ‘Menopause 2’ is set to open on March 11, 2024, at the EA Rawlinson Centre in Prince Albert, offering both humor and relatable insights on menopause. The show features a cast of four women navigating the challenges of menopause, presenting a narrative that resonates with audiences, regardless of gender.

Deb Radloff, who portrays the character known as Earth Mother, emphasizes that menopause is a topic relevant to everyone. “Menopause is something that half the population goes through, yet it’s not widely talked about,” Radloff remarked. She believes the production provides valuable lessons for men, especially those with partners or family members experiencing this life stage. “There’s something there to be enjoyed and learned. It’s just a fun show,” she added.

The storyline follows the women on a cruise five years after their initial meeting in a department store. Radloff described her character as a nurturing, free-spirited individual who has been in a long-term relationship for nearly three decades. “Earth Mother reflects on what she needs in her own relationship, realizing that ‘I think I need support too’,” she explained.

Engaging Music and Community Connection

Radloff brings extensive experience from larger theatrical productions but is particularly excited about the intimate setting of the EA Rawlinson Centre. She noted that performing in smaller venues fosters a unique connection with the audience, allowing for real-time feedback on the show’s impact. “You get to see in real time the effect the show and the material and your performance is having on people,” she shared.

The soundtrack of ‘Menopause 2’ features parodied songs from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, sure to evoke nostalgia for those who grew up during those decades. Radloff expressed her delight when audience members recognize the songs and react with laughter at the humorous lyrics, creating a joyful atmosphere during performances.

Being part of this production has been a rewarding experience for Radloff, who praised the talented cast and crew for their professionalism. “It’s been an amazing process with a talented company that knows how to run a really tight ship,” she noted. The choreography and music arrangements have also impressed her, enhancing the overall quality of the show.

As the opening night approaches, excitement is building for the performance, which starts at 19:30 on Monday. Radloff’s enthusiasm for the production and its message is palpable, making ‘Menopause 2’ a must-see for anyone looking for a night of laughter and insightful entertainment.
