With the possible exception of THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW, SIX WOMEN WITH BRAIN DEATH is the most popular show ever produced at Carpenter Square Theatre. This production was directed by playwright/composer Mark Houston himself in honor of our tenth anniversary. This hilarious musical comprises a flow of songs and skits jabbing at society's foibles with complete irreverence.

THE CAST:			Because so many actresses auditioned, Mark expanded the show to include 10 women. After illness and mishaps caused a couple of drop-outs, the show opened as "Eight Women With Brain Death". This production marked the origin of the "Swim Team" vignettes and the "Recycling" monologue that were later added to the official version. As with the first production, the popularity of the show led to an extension of the run. The original logo
