BRIDESMAID starts down the aisle on May 29</h3>

FALLS, Ohio - If you've ever elbowed a stranger out of the
way to catch a bride's bouquet, seriously questioned the
mental stability of the duo saying "I do" or been forced
to wear the world's ugliest bridesmaid dress, Chagrin
Valley Little Theatre's deliriously funny ALWAYS A
BRIDESMAID is definitely for you. The play opens its
four-weekend run on the main stage at 40 River Street
starting May 29, with the message that careers,
waistlines, and even marriages may disappear, but real
friendships last a lifetime.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal;font-family:
arial, sans-serif; color:#000000;" align="left">In this
hilarious comedic romp, four Southern women have sworn to
keep the promise they made on the night of their Senior
Prom: to be in each other's weddings at any cost. More
than thirty years later, these friends-for-life are still
determined to honor that vow. Libby Ruth (Helen Graf) is
the hopeful romantic with the perfect marriage who
believes that her friends can find the very same
happiness. Headstrong Deedra (Mary Mahoney) has found her
rock-solid marriage cracking due to her husband's
wandering eye and hands to match. Monette (Evie Koh) is
flashy, high-spirited, and self-involved, continually
testing her friends' love and patience with
all-too-frequent trips down the aisle. And
salt-of-the-earth Charlie (Jenny Barrett) wonders if
marital bliss is not really what she wants, panicking when
the opportunity presents itself. The wisdom and love of
the four friends is shared with Libby Ruth's daughter,
Kari (Macey Staninger), who is about to be wed at the
reception hall managed by the energetic Sedalia (Grace
Mannarino).</p>

audiences have enjoyed the work of Jones/Hope/Wooten
before, giving standing ovations to the theatre's
award-winning production of <em>The Dixie Swim Club</em>
in 2010. The writing team has a remarkable resume; Jessie
Jones co-authored the play which became the star-laden
2001 film <em>Kingdom Come</em>, Nicholas Hope has
received applause for several award winning plays and
television episodes, and Jamie Wooten spent many years as
writer/producer for <em>The Golden Girls</em>. Like <em>Dixie
Swim Club</em>, this new CVLT production is directed by
Barbara L. Rhoades, who brings with her over 25 years of
directorial experience and accolades to bear on this
charming and funny script.</p>
