OUR MOST RECENT PRODUCTION

FIVE WOMEN WEARING THE SAME DRESS

Middlebury Community Players Company Be presented Five Women Wearing the Same Dress by Alan Ball (American Beauty, Six Feet Under) at the Vergennes Opera House August 20–23, 2026. The production was directed by Kush Sharma.

The cast featured Avery Cutroni, Jillian Torres, Molly Tatlock, Christina Dewar, Addison Pollard, and Ethan DeWitt.

Five bridesmaids. One hideous dress. Zero desire to be at this wedding.

While the reception rages on downstairs, five very different bridesmaids hide out in an upstairs bedroom and discover a surprising common bond in this wickedly funny, unexpectedly touching celebration of friendship and survival.

For more details see the show page.

Five Women Wearing the Same Dress was presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Dramatists Play Service.
