Drama Works Theatre Company Presents: Five Women Wearing the Same Dress
During an ostentatious wedding reception at a Knoxville, Tennessee estate five reluctant bridesmaids hide out in an upstairs bedroom, each with their own reason to avoid the proceedings below.
They are Francis, a painfully sweet but sheltered fundamentalist; Mindy, the cheerful wise-cracking lesbian sister of the groom; Georgeanne, whose heartbreak over her own failed marriage triggers outrageous behavior; Merideth, the bride's younger sister whose precocious rebelliousness masks a dark secret, and Tricia, a jaded beauty who is a die-hard cynic when it comes to men. As the afternoon wears on, these five very different women joyously discover a common bond in this wickedly funny, irreverent and touching celebration of the womens spirit.
