BACP’s 44th Season
“A Stage for Every Age”
The Matchmaker by Thornton Wilder
August 18-27, 2023
auditions June 19-20, 2023
Horace Vandergelder, a wealthy merchant in nineteenth-century Yonkers, NY, decides to take a
wife and employs a matchmaker, Mrs. Dolly Levi. Dolly subsequently becomes involved with
two of Vandergelder's clerks, several lovely ladies, and the headwaiter at an expensive
restaurant, where this swift farce runs headlong into hilarious complications. After everyone gets
straightened out romantically, Vandergelder finds himself affianced to the astute Dolly Levi
herself.
Always a Bridesmaid by Jessica Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten
June 7-16, 2024
auditions April 15-16, 2024
In this hilarious comedic romp, four friends have sworn to keep the promise they made on the
night of their Senior Prom: to be in each other’s weddings…no matter what. More than thirty
years later, these Southern friends-for-life are still making “the long walk” for each other,
determined to honor that vow. Libby Ruth, the hopeful romantic with the perfect marriage,
believes—in spite of all evidence to the contrary—that her friends can find the very same
happiness. Headstrong Deedra’s “rock-solid” union hangs by a thread when she discovers her
husband of many years not only has a wandering eye, but the hands to match. Monette, flashy,
high-spirited and self-involved, continues to test her friends’ love and patience with all-too-
frequent trips down the aisle. And salt-of-the-earth, tree-hugging Charlie discovers—the hard
way—that marital bliss is not the end of her rainbow and panics in outrageous style when the
opportunity presents itself. Hop on this marriage-go-round for a laugh-out-loud journey with
these beleaguered bridesmaids as they navigate the choppy waters of love and matrimony. Libby
Ruth, Deedra, Monette and Charlie are committed to the notion that careers, waistlines and even
marriages may disappear, but real friendships last a lifetime. Forsaking all others, in sickness and
in health, they repeatedly struggle to stage the perfect wedding in spite of fistfights at the altar,
runaway brides and the mistaken, and unfortunate, release of a flock of white doves on the first
day of hunting season. Always a Bridesmaid is the rollicking tale of four loyal and
determined women who definitively answer the question, “Just how far are you willing to go to
keep a promise to a friend?” If you’ve ever elbowed a stranger out of the way to catch a bride’s bouquet, seriously questioned the mental stability of the duo saying “I do” or been forced to wear the world’s ugliest bridesmaid dress, this deliriously funny Jones Hope Wooten comedy
is definitely for you…and your dearly beloved!
