If you saw our production last year, Girls Weekend, you'll love what we have planned for this February! We're producing its sequel, the Bachelorette Party! For those who didn't see it, don't worry--you don't need to have seen Girls Weekend to be able to enjoy this hilarious romantic comedy. Stay tuned for more details and be sure to buy a ticket when they're available for purchase.

Dot, Meg, Carol and Ellie are back in Dot’s Northwoods cabin for Meg’s bachelorette party, but Meg and Sheriff Tom Lane have other ideas—a secret plan to elope at the cabin that night while everyone else is still out for the party. Carol and Ellie make similar secret plans to rendezvous with their respective men, Rick and Bubba, making the cabin a bit more crowded than Meg and Tom had anticipated. Throw in Dot’s stash of “special” cookies, an ex-lover and a B and E, and you have a full-blown night of hilarious chaos. Thank goodness for the wine!
