"FIVE WOMEN WEARING THE SAME DRESS is a fresh as a daisy comedy, funny as can be…"
—NY Daily News.

From the creator of the hit TV series True Blood, Six Feet under and the Oscar Award winning feature film American Beauty, comes a play written by Alan Ball - "Five Women Wearing The Same Dress".


During an ostentatious wedding reception at a Knoxville, Tennessee, 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, (Chelsey Marie) a painfully sweet but sheltered fundamentalist; Mindy, (Jennifer Baker) the cheerful, wise-cracking lesbian sister of the groom; Georgeanne, (Angelica Stirpe) whose heartbreak over her own failed marriage triggers outrageous behavior; Meredith, (Carolyn Lawrence) the bride's younger sister whose precocious rebelliousness masks a dark secret; and Trisha, (Amy Milligan) a jaded beauty whose die-hard cynicism about men is called into question when she meets Tripp, (Adam Fawns) 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.

An irreverent and funny look at the intricacies of friendship and the power of similar dressing. "…[a] wonderfully entertaining play…"
