AUDITIONS
FIVE WOMEN WEARING THE SAME DRESS
By Alan Ball
Directed by Jill Clough
During an ostentatious wedding reception at a wealthy Tennessee home, five reluctant, identically clad bridesmaids hide out in an upstairs bedroom, each with her own reason to avoid the proceedings below. 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 women's spirit. Set in 1990s Knoxville, this comedy reveals relatable, powerful, vulnerable women (and one man) as they laugh, boast, squirm and cry over sex, drugs, AIDS, sexual predation, religion and more.
An irreverent and funny look at the intricacies of friendship and the power of similar dressing. "…[a] wonderfully entertaining play…" —NY Post.
"Ball has the comic writer's requisite talent for dialogue that ricochets snappily around the stage." —TheaterWeek.
