Auditions Announced for PAINT NIGHT at The Drama Workshop

Imagine Steel Magnolias with modern-day issues, as six women gather for a much-needed girls’ night out. The plan is to eat, drink, and create works of art at a local Paint and Sip night studio while celebrating a bride to be. But as alcohol flows, so do their thoughts on motherhood and womanhood, and their carefully curated lives get hilariously and heartbreakingly real. Paint Night is about the powerful way women support each other in an unpredictable world and what happens when we put down our cellphones, truly connect, and paint outside the lines of our comfort zone.

Miriam – mid 50’s to early 60’s – Any ethnicity – A humanities professor with a grown son and daugher. A woman whose desire to see the bright side of life has been greatly tested.

Bree – mid 30’s to early 40’s – White female – Fern’s daughter. A working mom with a stay at home husband and a six-year old son.

Gwen – 40’s – African-American female – A business wunderkind who, after taking time off to raise her three kids, is finding it difficult to reenter a workforce that no longer values her.
