Wedding Belles

by Alan Bailey and Ronnie Claire Edwards
Directed by Helga Krauss

It is war time, 1942, in a small Texas town. There, four ladies of 60 who have known each other all their lives form the local garden club and have a hand in most of the social activities of the town. Laura Lee the wife of the mayor who disappeared a year ago is more or less the leader. The others are her sister-in Law and her sister and a much married lady named Glendine. On this day Laura Lee brings home a waifish 18 year old girl… Show more she found at the bus stop, tired and hungry. She had been waiting for her soldier boyfriend so they could be married before he shipped out. The big hearted ladies decide to stage a real, elaborate wedding for the girl, but, will the boy actually arrive and will the differences among the women that have been half hidden come to the surface. This is a lovely play with laughs and heart-felt emotion.
