Derby Divas: Make-A-Fascinator Workshop

The Sisters of Perpetual Sewing miss the excitement of the old days when they were saving convents and reuniting long-lost families. So when they learn that the orphanage where Paul and Kate grew up is in peril, they can&#39;t wait to come to the rescue. Everyone pitches in to mount a play to raise money, but it&#39;s no easy feat when Kate&#39;s expecting any day, Sally&#39;s hiding from stage-fright-stricken Paul after another flight from the altar, Mother Superior&#39;s acting is unexpectedly narcoleptic, and the sisters&#39; award-winning wine keeps getting switched with the grape juice. The merry mix-ups multiply in this warm and winsome sequel to Drinking Habits. In partnership with Company Repertory Theatre, Bossier Arts Council is proud to bring to you this raucous sequel to our Sold Out 2025 Hit Stage Production! Directed by Andra Ngyuen, this production features a talented cast comprised of both new talents &amp; returning actors reprising their popular roles! The East Bank Theatre is a community theatre created to support various disciplines of art in throughout Bossier Parish, and the surrounding area, as a part of the Bossier Arts Council.The East Bank Theatre is proudly powered by AEP SWEPCO.Tickets are non-refundable.
