Uptown Players Present RE-DESIGNING WOMEN, 4/5-5/19

Uptown Players presents the world premiere of Re-Designing Women, a new play by Jamie Morris, creator of The Facts Of Life: The Lost Episode, Mommie Queerest, and Silence of the Clams. This unauthorized parody of the popular 1980's sitcom runs April 5 through May 19, 2013 at the Rose Room Theater inside S4 Night Club on Cedar Springs.

Plagued by the faltering economy, Atlanta-based Sugarbaker Design Firm is on the brink of collapse when Suzanne, the vapid ex-beauty queen, has an outrageous idea to save the family business by pitching a reality show to Bravo TV. Soon camera crews are following the zany day-to-day antics of the four Southern Belles, their ex-con delivery man Anthony, and their daffy family friend Bernice. The producers get more than they bargain for and plenty of zany footage of Julia's infamous, highly-charged tirades and long, long over-the-top monologues; Mary Jo's tell-all testimonials after a few cocktails; and Charlene's down-home, hillbilly there's-got-to-be-point-to-this-story stories.

The cast includes Mikey Abrams, Kevin Moore, Michael Moore, Jamie Morris, Chad Peterson, Darius Anthony Robinson and Ashton Shawver. The production is directed by Andi Allen.

The production runs April 5 - May 19, 2013, with shows at 8 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (no performances on April 7, 14, 20, 28 and May 18). The performance on Friday, May 3 begins at 7:30 p.m. Performances take place at the Rose Room Theater inside the S4 Night Club, 3911 Cedar Springs Blvd, Dallas, TX 75219. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased online at www.uptownplayers.org or by phone at (214) 219-2718. All patrons must be 21 years or older and have proof of identification.
