Now Playing: There Goes the Bride
Shows are selling out for this hit comedic farce! Book your seat today by calling 678-8040. You won’t be disappointed!
There goes the Bride is about what happens when you multiply normal wedding day chaos by 10. On his daughter’s wedding day, harried advertising agent Tim Westerby gets hit on the head (and not just once) and starts hallucinating that his ad campaign (a 1920s flapper) has come to life. This sends his daughter in tears to her room and the rest of his family into a tizzy when he not only starts talking to, but singing and dancing with someone who isn't there.
Sponsored by Best Toyota, There Goes the Bride by Ray Cooney and John Chapman is a delightful comedy and this family is the funniest you will ever run into. This play is outrageously funny from beginning to end. It's a must see for lots of laughter! The show is geared towards teens and adults.
There Goes the Bride is directed by Wayne and Linda Marriot and stars Mike L’Oiseau, Mindy Vinqvist-Tymchuk, Heidi Price, Carole Ball, Geoff Ball, Brian Cottam, Sharon Burnett and Robert Racine.
There Goes the Bride plays each Friday and Saturday night at 8pm until February 11. There will be a 2pm matinee on February 5. To make reservations, phone 678-8040.
CentreStage Theatre is located at 61 River Street, Kentville. For more information visit www.centrestagetheatre.ca.
