On the way to stardom, Alan Ball (American Beauty, Six Feet Under, and True Blood) wrote a brilliantly funny and touching play about 5 equally hysterical, genuine and REAL women and one of the many men they touch (not in a dirty way....okay maybe a little).

During an ostentatious wedding reception at a Knoxville, Tennessee, estate, five reluctant, identically clad bridesmaids hide out in an upstairs bedroom, each with her own reason to avoid the proceedings below. As the afternoon wears on, these five very different women joyously discover a common bond in this wickedly funny, irreverent and touching celebration of the women's spirit.

This play is best described as follows: Sex in the City meets Bridesmaids and they have a three-way with Wedding Crashers creating this hot mess, recreational drug-using, champagne-chugging-until-we-make- emotional-breakthroughs BABY.

If that doesn't get you, we don't know what will.  Oh!  How about the fact that this is a BYOB event for adults?  That should get you. :)
