Imagine STEEL MAGNOLIAS with modern day issues, as six women gather for a much-needed girls’ night out. The plan is to eat, drink and create works of art at a local Paint and Sip night studio while celebrating a bride to be. But as the alcohol flows, so do their thoughts on motherhood and womanhood, and their carefully curated lives get hilariously and heartbreakingly real. PAINT NIGHT is about the powerful way women support each other in an unpredictable world and what happens when we put down our cellphones, truly connect, and paint outside the lines of our comfort zone.
MIRIAM — Mid-fifties to early-sixties. Any ethnicity. A humanities professor with a grown son and daughter. A woman whose desire to see the bright side of life has been greatly tested. A raw nerve.
BREE — Mid-thirties to early-forties. White. Fern’s daughter. A working mom with a stay at home husband and a six-year-old son.
GWEN — Forties. Black. A business wunderkind who, after taking time off to raise her three kids, is finding it difficult to reenter a workforce that no longer values her.
FERN — Mid-fifties to early-sixties. White. Bree’s mother. A woman desperately trying to do the right thing in a world that’s changing too fast for her.
LOLLY — Late-twenties to early-thirties. Any ethnicity. Miriam’s daughter. A seeker. Grew up with a schizophrenic older brother who tended to suck all the air out of a room.
VERA — Fifties to sixties. Any ethnicity. Paint Night leader. A straight shooting free spirit.
Place
An Art Studio. Where “Paint and Sip” parties are held.
