Theatre of Dare continues its 31st season of live, local entertainment with Alan Ball’s hilarious comedy, Five Women Wearing the Same Dress to kick off 2022.
Five very different bridesmaids find themselves hiding together in an upstairs bedroom, hoping to escape the wedding reception of a bride that — they soon realize — none of them really like!
There is Meredith, the rebellious little sister of the bride; Frances a highly religious, but sweet cousin; Mindy, a blunt, good-hearted lesbian who is the sister of the groom; Georgeanne, a friend from high school whose marriage is falling apart; and Trisha, a jaded beauty whose pessimism and doubts about men are proved false when she meets Tripp Davenport, an usher at the wedding.
In this cramped bedroom above the wedding, these five identically dressed women talk, laugh, argue, cry, console one another, and slowly become friends.
Shows will be at the Dare County Arts Council, 300 Queen Elizabeth Ave in downtown Manteo, Jan. 6-9 and Jan. 13-16. Masks will be required for the entirety of the performance.
