NOLA
Southern Grill /SLT Partner for Ladies’ Night Special May 2
Taking a cue
from the central characters in “The Full Monty,” Slidell Little Theatre
director Scott Sauber promises his cast is going “all the way” to expose
audiences to the naked truth behind financially tough times and the destructive
power of fear and anxiety.
In this Americanized musical stage version of
the1997 British film of the same name, six unemployed Buffalo steelworkers, low
on both cash and job prospects, decide to perform a strip act at a local club
after seeing their wives' enthusiasm for a touring company of Chippendales. The
group’s ringleader, Jerry, boldly declares that their show will be better than
the Chippendales dancers because they'll go "the full monty" – an
euphemism for going all the way. As they prepare for the show, working through
their fears, self-consciousness, and anxieties, they overcome their inner demons
and find strength in their camaraderie.

Scott Sauber
is making the same bold proclamation for the local production of “The Full
Monty,” onstage May 1 through May 17.
“While there
is an allure about the men going the full monty – and yes, they will be going
the full monty – the show is about fighting your demons, and being proud of who
you are,” Sauber said. “They are courageous and the crowd is going to cheer
them on.”
