Rex's Exes - A Jones Hope Wooten Comedy
Get ready for big laughs and bigger family drama in Rex’s Exes, an audition-based community comedy for actors 18 and up.
Join the Verdeen cousins for a wildly entertaining production full of Southern charm and outrageous fun!
The Verdeen cousins of Sweetgum, Texas are once again teetering on the brink of disaster in Rex’s Exes, a laugh-out-loud Southern comedy packed with outrageous twists and unforgettable characters. As Gaynelle stubbornly refuses to acknowledge her upcoming 50th birthday, her well-meaning cousins attempt to throw a surprise party she wants no part of. When plans abruptly shift from birthday celebration to an improvised family funeral, chaos erupts—and that’s only the beginning.
Things spiral hilariously out of control when a husband presumed dead suddenly reappears, revealing romantic entanglements with each of his wife’s cousins. Add in a Cajun bounty hunter hot on his trail, a jilted bride armed with a paintball gun, and a bitter aunt bent on revenge, and the Verdeens find themselves fighting to survive yet another family catastrophe. With rapid-fire humor, over-the-top situations, and plenty of Southern sass, Rex’s Exes proves that no family gathering—birthday, wedding, or funeral—is ever truly safe from mayhem.
This audition-based community production is open to actors ages 18 and up. Auditions will be held Saturday, April 18th at 10:00 AM and will consist of cold readings from the script in small groups.
Rehearsals begin Tuesday, April 28th and run through Wednesday, June 3rd, meeting Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 7:00–9:00 PM, and Saturdays from 10:00 AM–1:00 PM.
Performances will take place June 4–7, with Thursday, Friday, and Saturday shows at 7:30 PM and a Sunday matinee at 2:30 PM. A $25 script fee will apply to all cast members.
