The Glitter Girls
by Playhouse 2000
Jul. 01 - Jul. 02 (2018)
The Glitter Girls is “Steel Magnolias meets Survivor,” and it is a unique combination of Southern Comedy and reality television.
In order to claim a very large inheritance, the members of “The Glitter Girls” – a sometimes benevolent society of aging girl friends – must choose a single member from their ranks as the most worthy. As they vote “out” one member at a time, the claws come out, and hilarity – and some tender moments - ensue.
The Glitter Girls will be directed by Sheldon Boyce.
Playhouse 2000 is pleased and proud to be presenting the Texas Premiere of a brand new comedy by Mark Dunn, creator of Five Tellers Dancing In The Rain and other plays. Auditions will be held on Sunday, July 1 at 2:30 and Monday, July 2 at 6:30 in the Studio of the Kit Werlein Annex.
