Dearly Departed
By David Bottrell & Jessie Jones
Directed by Bryan Mitchell
In the Baptist backwoods of the Bible Belt, life and death are anything but orderly β and almost always hilarious. When the Turpin family gathers to mourn their dearly departed patriarch, their own troubles keep stealing the spotlight.
Eldest son Ray-Bud drowns his stress in drink as funeral expenses skyrocket. His brother Junior faces financial disaster, a suspicious wife, and a brood of unruly kids. Spinster sister Delightful copes with grief the only way she knows β by diving into junk food. And the eccentric neighbors? Theyβre more of a hindrance than a help.
Through the mishaps, laughter, and Southern charm, the Turpins β with a little help from their oddball community β just might stumble their way through the funeral after all.
Join us for this side-splitting comedy of family, faith, and finding humor in lifeβs messiest moments.
