In the glittering world of the Roaring 1920s, Mrs. Winifred Hastings is preparing for the most elegant affair of the season—her 60th birthday fête. A woman of impeccable taste and a famously colorful vocabulary, Winifred gathers her oldest (and wealthiest) friends for an opulent garden party at the Hastings Estate in New Orleans. Naturally, her adult children are summoned home for the occasion—each determined to present themselves as the “perfect” Hastings.

But when a wayward house pet, a suspicious tray of macarons, and one very public masquerade ball threaten to unravel carefully constructed appearances, long-buried secrets begin to surface. The siblings must decide: maintain the illusion… or finally tell the truth—to each other and themselves.

Blending the wit of a comedy of manners with the chaos of a comedy of errors, this sparkling ensemble piece explores family, reputation, and the wildly unrealistic expectations we create in pursuit of perfection.
