The industrious members of the Budapest Women’s Club (pronounced Bu-DAP-est) come together for an annual tradition: the crafting of the holiday parade float. But under the surface of this pleasant gathering, the women find themselves grappling with sexuality, betrayal, and their own hard and fast notions of right and wrong. In this ode to the complicated undercurrents of Midwestern morality, you’ll meet Marty, Luce, Char, Arletta, and Doodee — five women who face the tests life presents to them with laughter, love, and a lot of fake snow.

Characters (Five Women ages 30s-60s)

Doodee 40s/50s main character- wise but struggling internally

Char 40s- almost care free and forgiving of herself

Luce 30s- small town girl with a secret

Marty 40s- newly divorced and getting a taste for life

Arletta 50s-60s- nosey old broad with a good sense of humor
