The Story:

Lana Mae and Katie are up to their elbows in soap, suds, and cheatin’ boyfriends at the Wishy Washy Washateria. When these two country angels join forces, they turn their good ol’ laundromat into a boot-scootin’-boogie honky-tonk, guaranteeing every customer a good, clean time. Take a ride to Nashville heaven, and get your shirts pressed on the way!

Act One shows our girls when they first meet in the laundromat. By the end of the act, they’ve helped each other discover their true potential, and Katie has helped Lana Mae move toward her dream of being a country western singer.

Act Two is the first performance in the newly-redecorated ‘Honky Tonk Laundry,’ and both girls assert themselves as incredibly strong and independent single women.
