mayor and undertaker, Mayor
Hide (Ja=on Ritch), who wants to
get his hands on those cheery,

Formalda, played by Meredith
Steeper, who hasalittle toomuch

Muggs Thames, Kayla Godson,
Melanie Foshee, Amanda

Camp, dJade Ealy, Ashley
Callahan, Tristan Myers and Issac
Kelly) rehearse for their do-or-die

(Amber Ealy) lurks in the shad

show — even if she has to marry
Dr. Jakey, which turned out to be
a disaster for her last five hus
bands. Meanwhile her daughter
Ima(Karen Staley)has other plans
with eyes for David Darling
(Muggs Thames). Ima will do
