Tickets On Sale for DESIGNING WOMEN at The Arkansas Repertory Theatre

A world-premiere comedy from the creators of the smash-hit television series, Designing Women brings Julia, Suzanne, Mary Jo, and Charlene into our current age. It's 2020, and the ladies of Sugarbaker's design firm are as hilarious as ever, responding to their own differences and to the insanity of the world around them. With the same whip-smart and unmistakably Southern brand of humor, this new play proves that nothing unites us like laughter.

From the New York Times - September, 2021:

"Set in Atlanta, and centered on a quartet of mouthy women who orbit an interior design firm, [the original Designing Women TV series] combined feminist politics with click-clack comedy rhythms, celebrating the New South with wit and pluck and shoulder pads ... The show wrapped in 1993. Prime time and popular culture moved on. But friends and fans would often ask [series creator and playwright] Bloodworth-Thomason what Julia, the outspoken founder of the design firm, played by Dixie Carter, might say about same-sex marriage or the #MeToo movement or the election of Donald J. Trump to the presidency. More recently, Bloodworth-Thomason began to think about answers. Those answers coalesced into a two-act comedy, Designing Women."
