One Slight Hitch
by Paradox Players
Mar. 08 - Mar. 10 (2016)
It’s the summer of 1981. The Colemans are preparing for their daughter Courtney’s wedding at their consevative, upper-class suburban home. Her mom, Delia, is making sure that everything is perfect. The groom is perfect, the dress is perfect, and the decorations (assuming they arrive) will be perfect. Then, like in any good farce the doorbell rings. And all hell breaks loose. So much for the perfect.
