'Five Women' Take Stage at MLT

Category: Announcements || By Submitted Report


During an ostentatious wedding reception at a Knoxville, Tenn., estate, five reluctant bridesmaids hide out in an upstairs bedroom, each with her own reason to avoid the proceedings below.

They are Frances, 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; Meredith, the bride's younger sister whose precocious rebelliousness masks a dark secret; and Trisha, a jaded beauty whose die-hard cynicism about men is called into question when she meets Tripp, a charming bad-boy usher to whom there is more than meets the eye.

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.

McKeesport Little Theater presents "Five Women Wearing the Same Dress" by Alan Ball, directed by Lora Oxenreiter and produced by Timothy Dougherty.
