The night before a friend's wedding sets the stage for Theater RED's Milwaukee premiere of Bachelorette at Bay View's Alchemist Theatre. Raw, risque and x-rated, Leslye Headland's script first arrived at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival starring Kirsten Dunst, Lizzie Caplan and Rebel Wilson. Later the director and writer translated this into a stage play, and the playwright followed by producing another movie 'Sleeping With Other People,' supposedly a down and dirtier version of the iconic 'When Harry Met Sally.'  While being featured in Rolling Stone, LA Times, and The New Yorker, Headland's play attempts to deal with several mean girls suffering from hangovers and a younger generation's views on a version of the 'Romantic Comedy,' or rom-com.
