Five Women Wearing the Same Dress 

by Alan Ball,

directed by Martin Blank at Woolly Mammoth Theatre's Classroom (641 D St NW)

In Alan Ball’s comedy, Five Women Wearing the Same Dress, five very different bridesmaids find themselves hiding together in an upstairs bedroom, hoping to escape the wedding reception of a bride that -- they soon realize -- none of them really like! Five identically dressed women talk, laugh, argue, cry, console one another, and slowly become friends. Alan Ball is the author of numerous plays and received an Academy Award for his screenplay American Beauty.

2016 Source Theater Festival (June 8-July 3, 2016)
Directed by Margot Manburg
What does it mean to love someone in a moment of great transition? Zoe dreams of flying—of escaping to new heights—while her wife, Grace, dreams of standing in a pulpit before a religious community that accepts her recent transition from male to female. 16-year-old Savannah dreams only of her first love, Xavier, who is coping with becoming a man. Meanwhile, Xavier is haunted by the nightmares he sees staring back at him from the mirror. Ballast tells the story of two relationships between transgender and cisgender partners, exploring not only the way gender influences our relationships, but also how gender seeps into our spirituality, our dreams, and even our ability to take flight.
