Casting for:

5 WOMEN 25-40 AND 1 MALE 25-35

Meredith Marlow: The bride's nosy, pot-smoking sister who is very sarcastic and much annoyed with the whole fiasco downstairs. Sporting an outwardly tough attitude, she has a lot of hurt and insecurity to hide.

Georgeanne Darby: Tracy's "ugly sidekick" in middle school. Accepted the invite to be a bridesmaid even though her relationship with Tracy is strained because Tracy's boyfriend once knocked Georgeanne up.

Trisha: One of Tracy's former friends with a supposed bad reputation. She's been with a lot of guys, but not any that measure up.

Frances: The very naive and religious cousin of the bride.

Mindy McClure: The groom's clumsy, outspoken lesbian sister.

Tripp Davenport (Griffen Lyle Davenport the third): An usher who falls for Trisha. The only male in the show.

About the play:

Five Women wearing the Same Dress

Never the Bride...

During an ostentatious wedding reception at a Knoxville, Tenn. estate, five reluctant, identically-clad 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 they all share common bond - beyond their bridesmaid dresses.

This hilarious play is written by Alan Ball, creator of TRUE BLOOD, SIX FEET UNDER, & AMERICAN BEAUTY.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AT AUDITIONS!!!
