Village Playhouse presents: The Glitter Girls
Inspiration Studios 1500 S. 73rd St., West Allis, Wisconsin 53214
THE GLITTER GIRLS is a (mostly) female southern comedy in the tradition of BELLES and FIVE TELLERS DANCING IN THE RAIN, with the kind of strong ensemble dynamic reminiscent of several of Mark Dunn’s other plays for medium to large casts. The play revolves around an ad hoc meeting of a north Georgia women’s social club called “The Glitter Girls,” convened by its richest member – one Trudy Tromaine – who is supposedly at death’s door and wishing to bequeath some of her millions to one lucky “Sister of the Gleam and Sparkle.” The hitch is that it’s the members themselves who must decide to whom to award the small fortune (with hopes that the Glitter Girl they select will see it in her heart to share the money with the rest of her “sisters.”). The play can be economically described as STEEL MAGNOLIAS meets SURVIVOR, with a big dose of quirky Mark Dunn humor thrown in for good measure.
&:30pm Dec. 1-2, 8-9, 15-16, & 2pm Dec. 17.
