About this event
The Oldest Profession is tells the story of Mae, a madam, and her stable: Ursula, Lillian, Vera and Edna. They are five “working girls” at the end of their very long careers who are coming to terms with retirement – from the oldest profession. Unfortunately, the old-age pension is not what it used to be. Veterans of legalized prostitution, doing their bit for the war effort, in the Storyville red-light district of New Orleans, where Mae says, “there was honor in the trade,” five very senior ‘ladies of the night’ have migrated together to New York City’s Upper West Side in the early 1980s. They now are faced with a diminishing clientele, younger competition for their niche market, and aching joints. These elderly ‘working girls’ are at the end of their very long careers. They are businesswomen whose clients are literally a dying breed and these girls aren’t getting any younger themselves. With wit, compassion and humour, they struggle to find and learn new tricks as they fight to stay in ‘The Life’.

Get Involved
The Terrace Little Theatre is always looking to update our VOLUNTEER LIST in all areas of our operations.
The pandemic has been quite a challenge for our not for profit society. We are currently trying to get back up and running in our usual manner and we have managed to find many ongoing projects that we can always use help with. We need the skilled and the enthusiastic, those with muscle (doing theatre projects always seems to involve some heavy lifting!) and those with some time to spare who want to join our friendly bunch! The hours can be whatever you want to give.
