Organizer Joan Wood said 112 ladies arrived for the event, coming from Goderich, Stratford, Guelph, Owen Sound, Mildmay, Waterloo, Port Elgin, Bayfield and Southampton, as well as Kincardine.

The head of each group is designated the "Queen" and Wood said for the matinee performance there were more Queens in the audience than on stage.

Jennifer Webb of Bluewater Playhouse said the matinee was sold out and the ladies' night for "Nunsense" is also sold out.
