The Forst Inn Arts Collective presents the poignant comedy, Five Women Wearing The Same Dress, from May 29 through June 8 at The Forst Inn in Tisch Mills.
A sharp, witty comedy by Alan Ball that peels back the layers of Southern charm to reveal the secrets, struggles, and unexpected friendships of five very different bridesmaids. Set during a lavish wedding in Knoxville, Tennessee, the play follows these women as they hide out in an upstairs bedroom, each with her own reason for avoiding the reception. As they bond over their shared disdain for the bride, they share laughter, confessions, and moments of raw vulnerability. Hilarious and heartfelt, this play is a celebration of resilience, female camaraderie, and the unexpected connections that change us.
The show is directed by Michael Sheeks with costumes by Claran LaViolette, and stage management from Karter Mueller and Asher Stokes.
The production features local talent from across the area. Erin LaFond (Georgeanne) hails from Two Rivers while Emilee Carroll (Trish), Gavin Annette (Trip), Jessica Iannitello (Francis) are from Manitowoc. Representing the Green Bay area are Deb Oettinger (Mindy) and Paige Gilson (Meredith).
