‘Wedding Belles’ stars Judy Wilson as Laura Lee, Lori Shield as Bobrita, Ruth Crowell as Glendine, Pam Cantrell as Violet, and Lauren Moody as Ima Jean.

“We’re happy to present this show, we think people will really like it and be amused by it,” said Matt Moody of Pearl City. “I decided to direct this one because it was a little outside my Shakespeare comfort zone. It is being performed by some terrific local educators and performers and is a very funny and poignant show.”

Written by Alan Bailey and Ronnie Claire Edwards, “Wedding Belles” involves four garden-club ladies who meet a young girl who has come to their little Texas town to marry an infantryman before he ships off for World War II. The women impulsively decide to throw the girl an elaborate wedding, and their lives and friendships are thrown into turmoil as they race to accomplish the nuptials in one frenzied afternoon.

The Pearl City Players production includes Judy Wilson as Laura Lee, Lori Shield as Bobrita, Ruth Crowell as Glendine, Pam Cantrell as Violet, and Lauren Moody as Ima Jean. The production is directed by  Moody and produced by Bill Turner.
