Quiet Oaks Hospice House News and Events

Community Benefit for Quiet Oaks

Fishing Widows: The Reel Story by Sally Brenden
Presented by Pioneer Place
January 14-17, 21-24, 28-31
WORLD PREMIER MUSICAL!!!

"Fishing Widows" author Sally Brenden is passionate about serving people who are dying and raising awareness about hospice. Her volunteer work through Good Shepherd brought her to Quiet Oaks Hospice House, where she was "amazed" at the care and hospitality she witnessed. She immediately knew that she wanted to be a part of the work at Quiet Oaks Hospice House. She also knew that she wanted her first play to serve a greater good and decided that using "Fishing Widows" to benefit Quiet Oaks Hospice House would be "a perfect match."

"Fishing Widows" delivers laughs, reveals truths, and illumines the complexity of women's relationships. Dan Barth of Pioneer Place is producing the play and has gathered an exceptionally talented team from around the state to bring the script to life.

More About the Play

Decades of a shared fishing opener weekend have forged a powerful sisterhood between Annie, Sarah and Betsy in this brand new musical comedy. These foxy "fishing widows" are joined by delightful teenaged daughter, Stefanie, and potential daughter in law, Quinn, who is "trying on her fit" in anticipation of an imminent marriage proposal. Layers of the heart are peeled away as the weekend unfolds, revealing honest truths, and the complexity of their relationships with their men. While the hobby of choice of men differs, the commonality of humor, frustration, and angst is universal. This delightful musical celebrates the strength and necessity of women friendships, and is a must see for any man who believes the real action is on the water.
