The Belles of “Designing Women” are Back…with a Twist

by Aura-Leigh Jenkins on February 23, 2010

Designing Women live at Onstage Atlanta by The Process Theatre group

Those quirky Southern Belles of Sugarbaker’s are back, this time live onstage for two performances only.

The Process Theatre is presenting Designing Women Live on Wednesday, Feb 24 and Thursday, Feb 25 at 8pm at Onstage Atlanta located at 2597 North Decatur Road in Decatur. Julia, Mary Jo, Charlene and Suzanne return with their big hair, gobs of makeup and mile-high shoulder pads but this time with a Shakesperean twist:  They are played by MEN!

Dewayne Morgan, Joey Ellington, Greg Morris, and Topher Payne, who brought us the hilarious 2009 resurrection of the Golden Girls, are bringing our charming Southern femme quartet back to life with the promise of lots of snickering giggles and side-splitting guffaws.

The performances will raise funds to benefit The Process Theatre. Tickets are $20 for adults and $17 for students, seniors and military personnel. Get your tickets by calling 404-245-4205 visiting Onstage Atlanta’s Tickets.
