Plot

Music and drama combine to tell 3 stories of missed opportunities: A childhood bond is tested; a big city romance is discovered and lost and a jealous patriarch tries to exert his will from beyond the grave.

In Part 1, "Bad Timing" the tragedy of an accident in on the high trapeze, illustrates the fleeting opportunities for romance in the big city. Part 2, "Sister" shows us the childhood bond between a brother and a sister is unbreakable even in the face of mental illness. In Part 3 "Will There be Women at my Funeral?" The promise of $50,000 brings women from all over the country to attend the reading of a will of a mysterious Southern patriarch. Elizabeth, played by Dawn Fink, and Lucy played by Emily Redden, try to figure out who it is has summoned them from beyond the grave, and why. Downstairs in a room full of suspicious women, a young Lawyer, played by Keith Cox, begins to read the last testament. When the old man's identity is revealed, all hell breaks loose and we discover just how much good faith $50,000 can buy. Hint: it's not much. The room empties and Elizabeth, Lucy and four remaining women agree to fulfill their tasks to commemorate the old misogynist by carrying his coffin through the streets of Lexington, KY. But soon the pall bearers rebel and desecrate his memory by filling his coffin with the creepy doll collection discovered in the house.—Neville Elder
