Uptown Players Present RE-DESIGNING WOMEN, 4/5-5/19
By: Kelsey Denette
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.
