RE-DESIGNING WOMEN Is the latest wacky take-off from Varla Jean Merman, and SHUT UP SWEET CHARLOTTE co-stars, Ricky Graham, Brian Peterson, and Jack Long. See those cracked Southern Belles from Sugarbaker’s re-imagined as only our local "ladies" can! Hoot at the 1980s clothes, holler at Suzanne's hair, and shout along with Julia's favorite rants!
The show is part homage and part parody of the iconic 80s TV series. The issues of feminism, self-esteem, and “girl power” are given a new slant by having the characters played by men. This is by no means mockery – it is an appreciation of the struggle of the strong women to exist in a male-dominated society. But still with a lot of laughs!
8 Performances, only! May 23 through June 2
(Thur-Sat at 8:00 pm and Sun at 6:00 pm)
