One Act Play Review - Ava C.
A Coupla Bimbos Sittin’ Around Talkin’, written by Richard Vetere and directed by Ardrossan’s Calvin Hubscher and Spenser Lemay, explores the ideas of gender stereotypes and expression. Performed on April 21st, actors Kiera K., Megan A., Kira-Rose S. and Alexander V. portrayed their respective parts perfectly, and, as a woman, I found myself relating to their characters.
The play takes place in the 80s, where we get to watch as main characters Nancy, B.B. and Linda gossip about their past relationships and their favourite celebrities. We soon meet Nancy’s cousin Tess, a college student who is the polar opposite of the other girls. Unlike Nancy, B.B. and Linda, Tess goes against the typical idea of femininity, sporting traditional men’s clothing and wearing no makeup. Both Tess and the three girls are quick to make assumptions about one another, and although Nancy’s friends have never met Tess before, they feel as if they know everything about each other. These ideas are quickly proven wrong when Tess allows the girls to give her a makeover and the girls share their extensive knowledge of the world’s history with Tess.
This play is truly the definition of “don’t judge a book by its cover”, and leaves the audience reflecting on their personal experiences. Everything down to the lighting was clearly thought out, and the music really helped to establish the setting. The actors had great comedic timing, and although the audience didn’t always seem to laugh at the right parts, they persevered and performed to the best of their abilities.
I, for one, found myself greatly enjoying this play. Not only did it touch on real world issues, it also emphasizes humor. Audience members see themselves in the characters, which makes the message of A Coupla Bimbos Sittin’ Around Talkin’ so much easier to understand. Overall I found this play to be very well written and performed with a lot of passion. I highly recommend anyone of any gender identity watch this play and I truly hope to be able to watch these young actors again in the future.
