​I don't know about using plaster.  In our current home our walls are
drywall plastered over stucco.  In the shower we eventually had to apply an
exterior gloss​ paint to waterproof the shower.  (The moisture went into
the walls to the tiles shower base where it became grotty).  In the rest of
the house, a heavy rain sends moisture through the walls.  Bad news all the
way around.  The designer should have known better; a simple felt
application on the exterior walls would have taken care of the problem.

For an open shower in another house I too am looking for suitable shower
walls, something other than tile (to eliminate the eventual inherent grout
cleaning up necessitated with this use).  I've looked into acrylic walls
but these are very expensive, over $500 for a 4x8 sheet, material alone.

Am open to suggests as well.
