    Always A Bridesmaid

    Always a Bridesmaid

    June 17th – August 18th

    by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, Jamie Wooten

    On the night of their senior prom, Libby Ruth, Deedra, Monette and Charlie promise that they will be bridesmaids in one another’s weddings… no matter what. Now, more than thirty years later, these Southern gals are still making “the long walk” for each other, determined to honor that vow. ‘For better or for worse’ takes on a whole new meaning in this delicious comedy about old friends.

    ALWAYS A BRIDESMAID is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.

    Watch a preview of the show!
