TheatreSquared's newest production has a pretty amazing pedigree: The company has repurposed for the stage the iconic television show "Designing Women," which debuted in 1986 and garnered 18 Emmy Award nominations during its seven-year run. Original creators Linda Bloodworth-Thomason and Harry Thomason are along for the ride, with Bloodworth-Thomason writing the script and Thomason directing (and the theaters' co-founder and associate artistic director Amy Herzberg co-directing).
With the world premiere of its theatrical adaptation at TheatreSquared, the beloved ‘80s sitcom "Designing Women" has lost a bit of its magic in the transition from screen to stage.
