The Backlot Players Present - Four Weddings and as Elvis
Sandy, the four-times-married-three-times-divorced owner of a wedding chapel in Las Vegas, has certainly seen her fair share of matrimonies! In the hilarious Four Weddings and an Elvis, we witness four of her funniest: Bev and Stan, who are getting married- by the King himself- as revenge on their exes; Vanessa and Bryce, two arrogant aging stars who are tying the knot as a publicity ploy, and are vexed by an aging Elvis who doesn’t know who they are; and Martin and Fiona, a gentle postal worker and a tough ex-con trying to get married before the police arrive! However the final wedding is the funniest of all: Sandy’s fifth and final wedding which reveals a hilarious twist!

The Backlot Players Present - Five Tellers Dancing In The Rain
Southern sass, tears and charm engage as five bank tellers speak their heart and brew lots of coffee in this comedy. Set in the break room of a small bank in Mississippi on six consecutive weekday mornings, this warm and gentle play eavesdrops on the conversations of women who have for too long defined themselves in terms of their relationships recently ended or in the process of falling apart with self respect through friendships with those who have been down that road before.
