THE STORY: The Futrelle Sisters, Frankie, Honey Raye and Twink, are throwing a wedding. Frankie has almost made herself sick with elaborate preparations for her daughter Tina Jo's antebellum-inspired wedding, and the rumor mill in their small town of Fayro, Texas, is working overtime. No surprise there, the Futrelle Sisters have never been strangers to gossip. After all, they did survive the scandalous breakup of their almost-famous gospel singing trio, The Sermonettes. But Twink's desperate attempts to get her boyfriend of fifteen-and-one-half years down the aisle, Frankie's ongoing conversations with their dead mother, and Honey Raye's tendency to race to the altar at every opportunity have kept tongues wagging for years. In spite of her own marital problems, Frankie has held steadfastly to the hope that she can pull off one "final Futrelle occasion" with elegance and style with the help of the cantankerous wedding coordinator, Miss Geneva, who runs the local floral shop/bus depot. But on the day of the nuptials, Frankie's hope begins to dim when she discovers Twink's alternative solution to an expensive catered wedding dinner is a potluck supper sponsored by Clovis Sanford's House of Meat. When the prodigal Honey Raye arrives at the church in skintight red sequence & cowboy boots, consumed by hot flashes and a steely determination to right old family wrongs, Frankie's hope is shaken. It is lost completely when word reaches the church that Tina Jo and her fiancé have fled Fayro and eloped. The sisters ultimately pull together to find ways to keep the unsuspecting guests in the pews while a highway patrolman races off to track down the runaway bride and groom. As a last resort, and to the delight of the citizenry of Fayro, Texas, The Sermonettes reunite and sing again.

The beauty of this show comes from the eleven member cast portraying these wonderful characters. No one could give a better performance. Some of the actors are veterans with Center Stage, while others are newcomers to this stage.
The Futrelle sisters are played by the very talented and lovely Tanya Haas ( Frankie Futrelle), Lisa Warner (Twink Futrelle) & Kristen Wilson (Honey Raye Futrelle). The bride to be & her twin sister is portrayed beautifully By Hannah Black (Tina Jo / G.J). The father of the bride is played by Tom Smith (Dub Dubberly). The rest of this comedic cast is rounded out by Jean Adams (Nelda), Sally Dunlap (Patsy Price), Matthew Pickens (Justin), Rich Steinberg (Wiley), Kevin VanHorn (John Curtis), and the hilarious Mary Zurfas ( Geneva the wedding planner).
Director Doug Davis is not only a talented award winning director but also a very talented actor. He has been seen several times on the stage at many theaters around the Indy area. He will use all his directing and on stage experience to bring a new energy to this extremely funny production.
The unique set, costumes and the talent of the cast all promise a couple of hours of welcomed diversion and entertainment for the entire family.
