In RE-DESIGNING WOMEN, a female-owned Atlanta-based interior design firm, plagued by the faltering economy, is on the brink of collapse. Things change when one of the sassy southern belles has an idea to save the business. She pitches a reality show to Andy Cohen, the hotshot producer from the BRAVO network, and soon, camera crews are following the zany antics of the four outspoken feminists, their ex-con deliveryman, and their daffy family friend. Fame and fortune quickly turn their world upside down as infighting and jealousy threaten to ruin their perfect sitcom existence.

JAMIE MORRIS is best known for his parody plays "Mommie Queerest," (LA Weekly Theater Award) "The Facts of Life: The Lost Episode," "The Silence of the Clams," and "Gilligan's Fire Island." He is also a writer for Cirque du Soliel's "Zumanity" in Las Vegas where he lives with his partner of 16 years.
