Director : Cindi Armer-Almeida
Producer: Anita Goodfellow
Co-Producer: Frank Almeida
Production Description:
When the biggest highlight in your life for the past 30 years has been your weekly
bridge night out with the “girls,” what do you do when one of your foursome
inconveniently dies? If you’re Connie, Leona and Millie, three southern ladies from
Birmingham, you do the most daring thing you’ve ever done. You “borrow” the ashes
from the funeral home for one last card game, and the wildest, most exciting night of
your lives involves a police raid, a stripper and a whole new way of looking at all the fun
you can have when you’re truly living.
Connie Harland: (50-55):
Mother of Rachel who finds on this fateful bridge night that life doesn’t end in your fifties.
Rachel Harland: (19-25):
A university student majoring in drama (emphasis on “drama”) who seems to be
struggling with life & men. That is until bridge night opens her eyes.
Leona (55-60):
One of Connie’s closest friends and long standing member of the bridge club.
Beautician by day and caustic lush by preference, which is evident in her voice
Millie (55-60):
Another one of Connie’s friends and long standing member of the bridge club. Millie
marches to the beat of her own drummer – she is the one who “borrows” the ashes of
the fourth member of the bridge club
Policeman/Bobby (21-30):
Rachel’s love interest and male stripper. This role requires the actor to feel comfortable
doing a modified strip tease routine. Please note that the “costume” described in the
script will be a bit more modest for our stage.
