The Story:
COMEDY: This deliriously funny Southern-fried farce finds the cousins of Sweetgum, Texas teetering on the brink of disaster. Gaynelle, frustrated and frazzled from working too many two-bit jobs, stubbornly refuses to face the fact she’s turning the Big 5-0. In a misguided effort to lift her cousin’s spirits, Peaches, who’s stuck in a romantic dry gulch, is determined to throw her a surprise birthday party. Jimmie Wy, who recently opened her Specialty Bridal Boutique, reluctantly agrees to help Peaches with the surprise. But, Surprise! Nothing goes as planned! The hilarity escalates with many twists including the return of a recently declared dead husband, who has a bounty hunter hot on his trail, an unplanned family funeral and a bitter Aunt LaMerle who wants to exact her revenge before the dirt hits the casket. As the outrageous complications of this ferociously funny comedy explodes into chaos, you’ll find yourself hoping your next family celebration—be it birthday, wedding or funeral—is even half this much fun!
