The Story: During an ostentatious wedding reception in Knoxville, Tennessee, five reluctant, identically clad bridesmaids hide out in an upstairs bedroom, each with their own reason to avoid the preceding wedding. As the afternoon wears on, these five very different women joyously discover a common bond in this wickedly funny celebration of women’s spirit.

ROLES

5 women, 1 man. All characters are in their early twenties to late thirties and can be of any ethic background or race.

• 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.
• Trisha, a jaded beauty with a die-hard cynicism about men.
• Tripp, a charming bad-boy usher to whom there is more than meets the eye
