Middlebury Community Players present
Five Women Wearing the Same Dress
August 20-23
on the newly renovated VOH stage
Set during an ostentatious wedding reception at a Knoxville, Tennessee estate, the play finds five very different bridesmaids hiding out in an upstairs bedroom, each with her own reason for avoiding the festivities below. As the champagne flows and the party rages on without them, the women discover a surprising common bond in this wickedly funny and unexpectedly touching celebration of friendship, honesty, and the things we survive together. The play contains adult language and mature themes and is not suitable for children.

Saturday, August 22 @ 2pm & 7:30pm
