MainStage Irving-Las Colinas will continue its 2016-17 Razzle Dazzle season with the hilarious 1993 Alan Ball hit FIVE WOMEN WEARING THE SAME DRESS. The production opens January 20 and runs through February 4 at the Irving Arts Center's Dupree Theater (3333 N. MacArthur Blvd., Irving, TX 75062).

All evening performances are at 7:30 p.m., with Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m. Single tickets range from $19-28 and are on sale now at the Irving Arts Center Box Office (972.252.2787/ www.irvingartscenter.com). Ticket discounts are available for seniors and students.

During a lavish wedding reception at a Knoxville, Tennessee estate, five reluctant, identically clad bridesmaids hide out in an upstairs bedroom, determined to avoid the festivities below at all costs. Though their dresses match, their personalities are vastly different. As the afternoon wears on, these five unique women joyously discover a common bond in this wickedly funny, and touching celebration of female friendship. From the eclectic comedic mind of Alan Ball who authored American Beauty, and HBO's "True Blood" and "Six Feet Under." Watch out flower girls...her come the bridesmaids!

FIVE WOMEN WEARING THE SAME DRESS stars Tammy Partanen (Frances), Nicole Neely (Meredith), Liz J. Millea (Trisha), Mandy Rausch (Georgeanne), Laura Saladino (Mindy), and Hayden Evans (Tripp).

The FIVE WOMEN WEARING THE SAME DRESS production team includes Director Dennis Canright, Administrative Producer Mary Bongfeldt, Technical Producer James West, Stage Manager Branson White, Costume Designer Derek Whitener, Lighting Designer Kyle Harris, Set Designer Kevin Brown, Sound Designer Andi Allen, Master Carpenter Kris Hampton, and Properties Coordinator Dawn Blasingame.

Tickets to FIVE WOMEN WEARING THE SAME DRESS are on sale now and can be purchased by calling the Irving Arts Center's Box Office at 972.252.2787 or by ordering tickets online at www.irvingartscenter.com.
