Production Notes

Director's Notes

"Five Women Wearing the Same Dress?" the young boy asked at show-and-tell. "What if one of them spills something on the dress, then it's not the same dress anymore is it? And what if the women wear different size dresses? And they couldn't all fit in the same dress together, could they?" Our young scholar understood this play without even seeing it.

Enjoy our bridesmaids comedy as our women sip a little wedding champagne, taste some reception hors d'oeurves, and find out how very different and similar they are.

--Gail Wamba, Director of Five Women Wearing the Same Dress
