In this delightful and uproarious comedy, four best friends—Libby Ruth, Deedra, Monette, and Charlie—each yearning to change their life before it’s too late, return to their beloved Laurelton Oaks, a wedding venue they know well—in one of their cases, all too well.
With Deedra's purchase of the stately venue, the others rally around her. The business is ingeniously re-imagined as "Occasionally Yours," an events center for all kinds of fresh, new celebratory gatherings. With these women so involved in each other’s lives, what could possibly go wrong? Almost everything, what with Monette—flashy, vivacious and self-involved - careening through a comic minefield of yet another divorce, salt-of-the-earth, tree-hugging Charlie struggling to survive her late-arriving mid-life crisis and Libby Ruth—sweet, guileless but absolutely nobody’s fool—choosing to return to college and at the same time finding herself overwhelmed by the rebirth of her husband’s libido that keeps getting in the way of her studies. Meanwhile, headstrong Deedra is doing her dead-level best to fend off the eagle-eyed control issues of one practical and unflappable Sedalia Ellicott, the former owner, who refuses to relinquish the reins and exit gracefully. In the course of one ferociously funny year, they joyfully throw themselves into hosting all manner of events—baby showers, bachelorette parties, memorial services—where everything that can go awry does. They are even compelled to participate in, yes, another last-minute, improbable wedding.
In this side-splitting sequel to Always a Bridesmaid—and a stand-alone play in its own right—these tenacious women endure these laugh-out-loud adventures in hospitality and grow closer than ever as they tickle your funny bone and definitely capture your heart—again.

This rollicking, fast-paced Jones Hope Wooten comedy will bring you endless joy and waves of laughter.
