Five Women Wearing the Same Dress is an audacious comedy by Alan Ball, writer of the Academy Award-winning American Beauty and the hit HBO series Six Feet Under and True Blood.

Fun evening out with the "girls!" More than just a drag show with more than just one storyline to follow! Most dynamic thread in the script followed Jan (Cher Ferreyra) and Philip (Jeremy Lucas). Cher's Jan was a likable character from the moment she walked out onto stage. The emotional connections with other characters and comedic timing of the delivery of so many lines endeared her to the audience. Without spoiling anything, the versatility with which Mr. Lucas played this rarely depicted character type was amazing to watch. To dance, act, and sing, between the revolving door of costume changes had to be difficult, but he pulled it off with a polished finesse. We really enjoyed this show and think it will appeal to many different kinds of audiences! WELL DONE!

Typically we enjoy small theater productions for their honesty, talent, and ingenuity. Too bad this wasn't one of those productions. Their is some big talent, but the story is far too complex, the choreography is amateurish, costuming is uninspired, and the music is very junior high production. I don't like saying "It's bad", but "It's bad".

I did not feel that the characters were developed enough. The acting and singing was a little "cheezy".

<p>A Greek chorus of drag queens take audiences on a year’s journey starting at the memorial service for Cherise, the lead drag queen of their company. Cherise’s death spins their world into chaos. Billy, who hasn’t donned wigs and pumps for 5 years is reluctantly pulled back into the show. Ramon, his boyfriend, is furious. Ramon’s sister Jan, falls for Philip a straight female impersonator. Happy, Cherise’s side kick, is emotionally destroyed and frantic not to lose the company. Enter Betty, Cherise’s homophobic mother who is selling the theatre. She teams up with Teresa, the mother of Jan and Ramon, to find forgiveness and face their maternal shortcomings. The story ends up a year later… Who stays in love and who’s strong enough to forgive? Will our Mothers learn to love their little freaks no matter what? Will our wigged heroes find love or sell out? Only our fierce chorus of drag queens can tell you that thru honesty, heart and a heck of a lot of camp.</p>
