The synopsis of this play goes something like this:
Welcome to Cricket County – the land that cool forgot. With characters named Bodean and Chigger, what’s not to love? The gals think being a housewife is the highest callin’ there is. They’re happy with their cookin’, gardenin’, cleanin’ lifestyle, with neighbor-spyin’ and coon-huntin’ on the side – until “richer’n clabbered cream” Monica Northcutt crashes their quilting bee with her women’s rights spiel. Discontent brews faster’n a jar of sun tea, and suddenly cookin’ frog legs don’t look so appealing. Though the gals say if you offered their husbands a penny for their thoughts, you’d get back change, the good ol’ boys have the last word as they show their wives the true meaning of beauty: contentment! Fun side gags involving a scarecrow and “muscadine juice.” May be used as dinner theatre.
