Welcome to the Thorne-Vane Dynasty, a multi-million dollar Southern lifestyle and hospitality empire built on flawless elegance, world-class cooking, and iron-clad family traditions. As the grand 50th Anniversary Jubilee approaches, the family's regal, gun-toting matriarch, Lady MaeGwendolyn "Mamma G" Thorne-Vane, is preparing to solidify her legacy. But when her bitter high-society arch-rival, Lady Victoria Covington, teams up with a corrupt corporate developer to legally seize the historic family estate, the ultimate family crisis erupts. To save her empire, Mamma G has to herd a hyper-chaotic choir of eccentric relatives who are far better at starting altercations than stopping them. ​From a parking garage gate demolition courtesy of a cousin delivering "emergency brisket," to a backyard laser-grid disaster that sets a neon-fringe leather jacket and a pedigree pocket-puppy on fire, the family is an absolute, rolling storm of erratic drama. Backed by her glamorous, live-streaming wingwoman Auntie Tee-Tee, the unfiltered, bourbon-sipping Uncle Beau, the over-pious Sister Henri, the wildly eccentric fashion disaster Cousin Elroy, and her deeply stressed grandson Dr. Marcus, Mamma G must deploy every ounce of her high-society leverage to out-maneuver the corporate saboteurs. Packed with rapid-fire Southern wit, larger-than-life physical comedy, and deep family heart, The Gospel of Big Mamma G proves exactly why nobody crosses a grandmother with a plan, a heavy silver revolver, and a purse full of blessings. ​As Mamma G says: "Don't let this silk fool you-I will trade this blessing for a booking in thirty seconds flat."
