AMANA — “Shirley Valentine,” a one-woman comic drama written by Willy Russell, opens July 5 on The Old Creamery Theatre’s Studio Stage in Middle Amana.

Tired of talking to the walls of her kitchen and living a life less — quite less — than what she dreamed of, Shirley Valentine goes to Greece with a friend. What she discovers is that the old Shirley, who loved life and wasn’t afraid to live it, was there all along.
