EMPIRE STAGE & BEVNAP PRODUCTIONS
Present THE DEVIL WEARS PAYLESS
by JAMIE MORRIS
“THE DEVIL WEARS PAYLESS” is playwright Jamie Morris’ 7th comedy parody play and will make its South Florida premiere on February 27th at Empire Stage in Ft Lauderdale. The show runs through April 6th.
“PAYLESS” parodies the Meryl Streep/Anne Hathaway/Emily Blunt film about the ultimate boss from hell…with a twist! Morris’ version answers the question, “What happens when Miranda Priestly is caught wearing Payless shoes?!” The show debuted in Provincetown on June 18, 2024 at the Post Office Cabaret, ran for 4 months, and was extended twice by popular demand.
Morris’ previous works include “Mommie Queerest”, “The Facts of Life: The Lost Episode”, “The Silence of the Clams”, “Re-Designing Women”, & “Gilligan’s Fire Island”.
February 27 – April 6, 2024
Tickets $40 ($30 for Feb 27 Preview)

Greeted warmly by the host with free wine and many laughs as he warmed up the audience dressed in drag and full of wise cracks! Check it out if you get the chance!!!
Cool place. I saw the absolutely hilarious “Thank You For Being a Friend”, the Golden Girls parody. Enjoyed every moment of it, and I’m so glad I made it a part of my vacation.
Absolutely delightful and intimate Blackbox theatre where you see and hear everything. Plenty of parking everywhere. The lobby boasts couches to sit on and wait, snacks to buy, and a certain feeling of being in a real hip theater.
