Three Fittings

Synopsis:
Three brides-to-be, one bridal salon, and a million perfect dresses. One bride may have said yes too soon, terrified she's purchased a gown (and perhaps more) that she might, in the end, despise. Another bride believes matching bridesmaid dresses are fascist and would rather end world hunger than register at Tiffany's. And yet another bride reminds us that it is truly not about the dress. Along with the wedding gowns. . .love, heartbreak, longing, and delusion are on display at a bridal boutique.

Notes:
Southeastern production of Three Fittings opens on April 25, 2008 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, produced by The Women's Theatre Project
