REALLY DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES OF STEPFORD PARISH Returns to Le Chat 8/6-8

Pull out the potholders and the Lemon Fresh Pledge: for one hilarious weekend, Running With Scissors returns to the community of Stepford, Louisiana -- a place where the loafers are light, the cosmos are crisp, and wives watch for waxy yellow buildup. Don't miss these three final performances of the hit comedy that Gambit Weekly called "a Captain and Tennille-powered gas. When these Northshore hausfraus say 'I'll just die if I don't get this recipe,' they ain't kidding!"

Our story begins with Joanna Morgenstern, a feisty wife and fledgling artist, who moves from her plush home in New Orleans to the quiet, comfortable Northshore village of Stepford. But almost as soon as she pulls into her new cul-de-sac, things go from quaint to quirky. Joanna's husband - acclaimed florist Walter Morgenstern - joins the local Men's Association and spends most nights at the clubhouse with his new pals. And as pretty as her new home may be, Joanna doesn't know what to make of her new ladyfriends, whose deeply domestic habits don't jibe with Joanna's good-time gal ways.

After a bumpy start, Joanna eventually encounters a couple of kindred spirits: tomboy Bobby Marco and superstar TV bombshell Tina Louise. At last, Joanna thinks she's going to make it after all! But then, like a '73 Pinto, her hopes go up in flames. Bobby and Tina become just like all the other Stepford wives, and Joanna feels sure she's next! What's turning all her friends into homebound hausfraus? Who's going to those disco parties at the Men's Association? Why does the water taste like axle grease? And most importantly: will Joanna escape from Stepford to the warm comfort of Bush?

THE REALLY DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES OF STEPFORD PARISH stars Kyle Daigrepont, Bob Edes JR., Brian Peterson, Dorian Rush, and Michael Sullivan, with technical assistance from Liz Zibilich. The original script was created by the company, inspired by Ira Levin's classic camp novel, The Stepford Wives, a couple of movies by the same name, and a shameful love of reality shows.
