Published by Samuel French Inc
2 Male 9 Female
Estelle Lock, the local Music Minister's wife who also plays the role of Mary, the Mama of Jesus in the Annual Star Spangled Jesus Cantata, will perhaps finally get into the Junior League
Martricia Scales, owner of the Curl Up and Dye Beauty Salon, will become an independent business woman
Coveta Phillips, Dupont's own June Cleaver who runs her own phone business, will make the phone lines burn with productivity
Percy Felts, head Librarian of the Dewberry Library, will be able to put that book of Fairy Tales back on the shelf after Verna banned it because she thought it was about gay people
Joetta Ferguson, local town crazy who is convinced she is the next Priscilla Presley, but with bigger hair and heavier mascara, just might get to Graceland after all
... and a host of other delightfully zany and eccentric friendships survive Verna's death but does the one thing which held them together all these years, their mutual hatred of Verna, no longer exist?
Told through a series of monologues and duet and group scenes Dupont, Mississippi is a hilarious romp through Southern culture for audiences who like to laugh until they cry
Mark Landon Smith has given us yet another wickedly funny script (breaking box office records at its world premiere), filled with unique characters, witty dialogue and one-line zingers.
