Designing Woman the Play

By L. Bloodworth Thomason

Directed By Sara Pagones

A Regional PREMIERE play bringing the megahit television series to life for our current age. Teeming with raucous hilarity and channeling the series’ one-of-a-kind, trademark voice, Designing Women sets out to re-unite its audience—if nothing else—in laughter. It’s 2020, and Julia, Suzanne, Mary Jo, and Charlene are partners in the Atlanta-based interior design firm, Sugarbaker’s—but with the firm in crisis, they’re on the verge of a radical decision to sell the business and separate. A timely, whip-smart and deeply funny new Southern comedy set to take the theatre world by storm.

Fashionable and fierce, the ladies of the smash-hit comedy series Designing Women are now live onstage at Cutting Edge Theater in this hilarious and timely new comedy set in Atlanta in fall 2020, Designing Women – 2020: The Big Split.

Presidents and pandemics are the hot conversation points, and Julia and her partners at Sugarbaker’s interior design firm are now tackling 21st century challenges with wit, pluck, and style. The house of Sugarbaker may be divided this election season, but these Southern, smart, and sassy designing women prove that nothing truly unites us like laughter.
