EMPIRE STAGE PRESENTS THE EAST COAST PREMIERE OFRE-DESIGNING WOMEN, THE LATEST PARODY FROM THE WRITER OF
MOMMIE QUEEREST AND THE FACTS OF LIFE: THE LOST EPISODE
Ft. Lauderdale, FL (May 15, 2014) – On the heels of last year’s successful runs of playwright Jamie Morris’ plays The Facts of Life: The Lost Episode and The Silence of The Clams, Empire Stage is set to bring the east coast premiere of his latest play, Re-
Designing Women, to South Florida audiences this summer.
Based on the hit TV sitcom Designing Women, which ran on CBS from 1986-1993, Re-
Designing Women does not incorporate actual episodes; rather, Morris puts his original twist, a current, up-to-date look on the beloved sitcom - which has been off the air for 21 years - with cameos from some of today’s hottest reality show stars.
Plagued by a faltering economy, the Atlanta-based Sugarbaker Design Firm is on the brink of collapse when vapid ex-beauty queen Suzanne has an idea to save the business by pitching a reality show to Andy Cohen, the hotshot producer from the BRAVO network. Soon camera crews are following the antics of the four Southern belles, their ex-con delivery man Anthony, and their daffy family friend Bernice. The producers get more than they bargain for with plenty zany footage of Julia’s highly charged tirades, Mary Jo’s cocktail-infused, tell-all testimonials, and Charlene’s hillbilly, down-home, there’s-got-to-be-a-point-to-these-stories.
Soon their world is turned upside down with infighting and jealousy as everyone gets a taste of fame and fortune that could ruin their perfect sitcom existence.
Re-Designing Women had its world premiere last spring in Dallas, where it enjoyed a seven-
week, record breaking, sold out run. Six members of that original cast will be reprising their roles in this Ft. Lauderdale production. They are: Mickey Abrams (Bernice), Kevin Moore
(Andy Cohen), Jamie Morris (Julia), Chad Peterson (Mary Jo), Darius-Anthony Robinson (Anthony) and Ashton Shawver (Suzanne). They will be joined by South Florida actorChristopher Mitchell, who will be playing the role of Charlene.
