Description:
In this rapid-fire, hilarious romp, the Futrelle sisters – Frankie, Twink, Honey Raye and Rhonda Lynn – are in trouble again. This time, their beloved hometown of Fayro, Texas is in danger of disappearing – and it’s up to the sisters to save it from extinction. But their plans to do so quickly go haywire. Honey Raye, with a major assist from her former nemesis, comes up with a solution to bring back businesses and residents; a salsa manufacturing factory is looking to relocate and a company representative is headed to Fayro on a scouting mission.
Honey Raye makes promises that are not to be believed in order to woo the rep to choose Fayro. She tells them that on the very weekend of the rep’s visit, just four days away, the town happens to be having their biggest celebration of the year – Fayro Days. The problem? That’s news to the citizens of Fayro, who have to quickly band together to make her promises a reality. The way the Futrelle sisters and the other citizens of Fayro pull together and save their town is a testament to Southern strength and ingenuity – and a recipe for total hilarity.
Auditions will consist of reading from sides provided on the night of the audition.

Character Descriptions:
Frankie Futrelle Dubberly – (40s) The youngest and most responsible of the sisters, Frankie is often the voice of reason. She’s dealing with her husband Dub’s mid-life crisis and the chaos caused by her five-year-old twins, who are “literally tearing up the town”
Dub Dubberly – (40s) Frankie’s husband, Dub, is experiencing a major mid-life crisis. His arrival in Fayro is met with concern from the sisters and the town.
Honey Raye Futrelle – (50s) Honey Raye is a proud, “has-been” beauty queen who’s divorced and full of life. She’s “way extra” and takes charge of the “Fayro Days” festival scheme, enlisting her sisters and the town to make her promises to a salsa factory representative a reality.
Rhonda Lynn Futrelle – (50s) The eldest sister, Rhonda Lynn, has a sudden uptick in her dating life, which upsets Honey Raye. She’s also the one who causes a major scare when she inadvertently drops her aunt Iney dead just before the salsa rep arrives.
Twink Futrelle – (40s) The next-to-youngest sister, Twink is quick-tempered and determined. She’s desperate to get married and drags the reluctant Deputy Sheriff John Curtis Buntner into the wedding
John Curtis Buntner – (40s) The Deputy Sheriff, Buntner is reluctant to marry Twink but is dragged into the wedding. His presence adds to the comedic tension and town chaos
Geneva Musgrave – (60s) A former nemesis of Honey Raye who assists her in the festival plan. She’s the “meanest woman in twelve counties” and her arrival in Fayro is cause for alarm
Aunt Iney Dubberly –(80s) Dub’s wicked old aunt, Iney is visiting Fayro and her arrival is a source of tension. Her sudden death in the Dubberly home is a major plot twist
Raynerd Chisum –(40s) A sweet, simple character who becomes part of the town’s efforts to save Fayro. He’s one of the few who remains grounded amid the sisters’ schemes
Justin Waverly (20s) is the interim pastor of The Tabernacle of the Lamb. He is the center of the town’s spiritual and community life in Fayro and a figure of moral authority and community presence, serving both guidance and occasional friction in the town’s affairs.
Gina Jo “G.J.” Dubberly Waverly (20s) is naive and earnest. Her inexperience in matters of love and life makes her a source of comic contrast to the more seasoned and scheming characters. She is the niece of Honey Raye, and married to Justin Waverly.
D. Dayva Davidson (50s) the smart, well-dressed salsa factory rep scouting for a new location in Texas — her arrival becomes central to the town’s survival plot, as the Futrelle sisters must convince her to relocate the factory to Fayro.
Buck Strickland (50s) - the upbeat owner of the salsa factory.
Diversity actors are strongly encouraged to audition.
