Always a Bridesmaid

Studio Play: Aug 8-25, 2024


Written by Jones Hope Wooten

Get ready for a sidesplitting journey with four lifelong friends who made a pact on their Senior Prom night to stand by each other’s side on the wedding day, no matter what. Three decades later, these Southern belles are still honoring that vow, even as their own marital adventures take unexpected turns. Libby Ruth, the eternal optimist, believes in enduring love despite her friends’ marital mishaps. Deedra’s supposedly solid marriage hits turbulence when she uncovers her husband’s wandering eye and wandering hands. Monette, always the life of the party, tests her friends’ patience with her frequent trips down the aisle. And down-to-earth Charlie learns that wedded bliss isn’t the end-all, be-all, leading to hilariously outrageous antics when love comes knocking again. Join these beleaguered bridesmaids on a riotous ride through the highs and lows of love and marriage. It’s a laugh-out-loud escapade you won’t want to miss!
