Synopsis: 

​

In this hilarious comedy, Five Women Wearing the Same Dress, five very different bridesmaids find themselves hiding together in an upstairs bedroom in a Knoxville,TN, estate hoping to escape the wedding reception of a bride (Tracy Marlowe) that -- they soon realize -- none of them really like! In this cramped bedroom above the wedding reception, these five identically dressed women talk, laugh, argue, cry, console one another, and slowly become friends.

​

Character descriptions: 

​

  • Meredith Marlowe: The bride's rebellious, pot-smoking younger sister who is very sarcastic and much annoyed with the whole fiasco downstairs. Sporting an outwardly tough attitude, she has a lot of insecurity to hide. (Bridesmaid 18ish-mid 20’s)

  • Georgeanne Darby: The bride’s, “ugly sidekick" in high school and college. Accepted the invite to be a bridesmaid even though her relationship with Tracy is strained because Tracy's boyfriend had once got her pregnant. (Bridesmaid late 20’s-30’s)

  • Trisha: One of Tracy's former friends with a supposed bad reputation; a jaded beauty. (Bridesmaid late 20’s-30’s)

  • Frances: The very naive and religious cousin of the bride. (Bridesmaid 18ish-mid 20’s)

  • Mindy McClure: The groom's clumsy and outspoken lesbian sister. (Bridesmaid 20’s-30’s)

  • Tripp Davenport: An usher who falls for Trisha. The only male seen in the show. (Late 20’s-30’s)
