Title: Secret Bridesmaids’ Business

Synopsis: It’s the night before Meg’s wedding, and the bridal party is ready to celebrate. But when an unexpected scandal emerges, the night spirals into chaos. Secret Bridesmaids’ Business is a sharply funny and heartfelt play by Elizabeth Coleman that captures the mayhem, secrets, and strong personalities that can turn a seemingly perfect celebration into a wedding nightmare. As tensions rise and loyalties are tested, this witty, character-driven story explores the complex bonds between women—and whether marriage is really worth all the fuss after all.
