[Brookville]

Directed by Debbi Robbins

Cast: Junior Cruea as Geneva Musgrave,  Alain Alejandro as Raynerd Chisum, Kate Gaston as Tina Jo/Gina Jo Dubberly, Beth Gisewite as Honey Raye Futrelle, Dawn Gunter as Frankie Futrelle Dubberly, James Nelson as Dub Dubberly, Jessica Suba as Twink Futrelle, Sheryl Koontz as Nelda Lou Lightfoot, Kathy Devorak as Patsy Price, John Wysong as John Curtis Buntner & Owen Van as Justin Waverly

Hilarity, Texas style! An over-the-top wedding, three feuding sisters and a church full of small town eccentrics. What could possibly go wrong? In this fast-paced, laugh-a-minute comedy, the Futrelle sisters of Fayro, Texas – Frankie, Twink and their estranged sister, Honey Raye – are thrown together to pull off a family wedding. But it is not going well. Frankie’s oldest twin daughter is marrying the son of the queen of what passes for high society in Fayro and Frankie is desperate to make this antebellum-themed wedding an elegant affair. It soon becomes obvious that Fate has other plans…
