From the creator of the hit TV series True Blood, Six Feet under and Oscar Award winning feature film American Beauty, a play written by Alan Ball -
"Five Women Wearing The Same Dress". A hilarious comedy set in the bride's old bedroom in her family estate in 1990 Knoxville, Tennessee, where the five bridesmaids all find refuge. 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.
The chemistry that this cast has is palpable and funny. This show should not be missed. Join them at one of Toronto’s newest venues "The Aztec" (formerly Big Picture Cinema).
Producer/actress Amy Milligan who is still riding strong after receiving 4 Ns for her role as April White in "Savage in Limbo". Although grateful for the T.V. and commercial roles in between, she was tired and frustrated waiting for someone else to determine when and if she would book a role. With the love of her craft of storytelling in mind, she wanted to start creating her own work. So she did.
"When I first came across this play by Alan Ball. I knew I had to bring it to life! It was so refreshing to read a males perspective on the inner workings of female minds. And although, Ball dances around "womens' issues" it was very freeing to discover that this piece isn't about the issue. This play is about the people behind the issues...who just happen to be women.'
One of Amy Milligan's closest and dearest friends, Dori Elhachem, originally signed to direct this play. He had been battling cancer for 5 years and wanted to have one last production under his belt. Sadly Dori had fallen ill during the rehearsal process and has passed away. A portion of all ticket sales will be going to the Canadian Cancer Society and Kensington Hospice. "We want to honour a true artist and director." say the producers, "he inspired us to continue producing this play even though he would not be here to see the final product."
In an interview with Jenna Marynowski, seasoned director Adam Bailey, who has taken this production under his wing says, "I want my work to delight and provoke thought, and I always want humour to be present." With this fantastic and insightful director, cast and Alan Ball's writing this production is sure to be a hit.
Just because someone is gone, doesn't mean their story is.
In loving memory of Dori Elhachem (05/24/1977 - 08/08/2015)
