Chico Performances: A Celebration of Diversity in Art and Comedy

Chico Performances invites us to immerse ourselves in a rich tapestry of cultural expression this season. From the comedic flair of Menopause The Musical 2: Cruising Through ‘The Change’, to the thought-provoking discourse sparked by Héctor Tobar's literary work, and the vibrant humor of Good Medicine's Native stand-up, each event promises to be a unique celebration of the human experience. Join us as we explore the humor, resilience, and complexity of these artistic endeavors that capture the essence of diverse narratives.

1. Menopause The Musical 2: Cruising Through ‘The Change’®
All aboard, sisters! The hysterical sequel to the smash-hit Menopause The Musical® is finally here! Five years after their chance encounter in a department store, we set sail with our beloved ladies for more high jinks on the high seas. Menopause The Musical 2: Cruising Through ‘The Change’® is a hilarious and heartfelt look at the joys of menopause and friendship — plus hot flashes, mood swings, and memory lapses! Join us on a trip of self-discovery, backed by a new soundtrack of toe-tapping parodied hits from the 70s, 80s and 90s. For these four ladies, menopause was not the end, but the beginning of a beautiful friendship where love conquers all, and friendships never fail.
