The Cemetery Girls 

Lucille and Doris are part of a unique club. Every month they meet at Ida's New York house for tea, then trundle off together to the cemetery to remember the good times and gossip with their late husbands. Until, "“We can’t go on like this forever, living in the past. I feel like I’m in a cemetery club,” and when Sam, a butcher, meets the widows while he is visiting his wife's grave, he changes their lives forever.

Lynn last appeared with Company Theatre in Death of a Salesman in 2023 for which she won a NAPTA Award. She trained in the US and London and enjoyed a professional career in London and New York. After moving to New Zealand in 1997, she has been on stage in more than 45 community theatre productions. Favourite roles include Dolly in Hello Dolly!, Helene Hanff in 84 Charing Cross Road, and Nurse Ratchett in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. However the highlight of her career has to be playing Sarah Brown in the National Theatre's production of Guys and Dolls in the 80's. Creating Doris has been a challenge, made more accessible by working with a wonderful cast and director. Thanks to everyone!
