January 9, 2008 > Stage 1's The Full Monty Stage 1's The Full Monty Directed by Sue Ellen Nelsen and produced by Debbie Otterstetter, Nancy Rosenblum and Denise Watson, this Americanized adaptation of the hit 1997 British film, The Full Monty is sure to be a classic. Seeing how much their wives enjoy watching male strippers during their "Girls' Night Out," unemployed steelworkers in Buffalo New York come up with a bold way to make some quick cash. In the process they find renewed self-esteem, the importance of friendship and the ability to have fun. As the guys work through their fears, self-consciousness, feelings of worthlessness and anxieties (over everything from being overweight to child custody, bigotry to being gay), they come to discover that not only are they stronger as a group, but that the strength they find in each other gives them the individual courage to face their demons and overcome them. There is great heart to The Full Monty, and the ultimate themes expressed in the show, about taking charge of one's life and following one's dreams are great lessons for all of us.
