More than thirty years later, these Southern friends-for- life are still making "the long walk" for each other, determined to honor that vow. Hop on this marriage-go-round for a laugh-out-loud journey with these beleaguered bridesmaids as they navigate the choppy waters of love and matrimony. Libby Ruth, Deedra, Monette and Charlie are committed to the notion that careers, waistlines and even marriages may disappear, but real friendships last a lifetime. They repeatedly struggle to stage the perfect wedding in spite of fistfights at the altar, runaway brides and the mistaken, and unfortunate, release of a flock of white doves on the first day of hunting season. The rollicking tale of four loyal and determined women who definitively answer the question, "Just how far are you willing to go to keep a promise to a friend?"

Caryl Crane Youth Theatre Bowling Green State University Firelands Campus For Immediate Release Finalists Announced for the 5th Annual Ronald M. Ruble New Play Festival at Caryl Crane Youth Theatre. Three finalists have been chosen and will be presented in the 5th Annual Ronald M. Ruble New Play Festival on May 2, 2015, in the McBride Auditorium at BGSU Firelands College: What are Dreams Made Of? by Lisa Sniderman, Aeode and Scrote, The Duck Who Clucked by David Meyers and Veronica Reyes How, and Lost Boy by Kelly and Kevin Milnes. These finalists, chosen from a nationwide search for the most promising unproduced theatrical works relevant to youth today, will be presented in a staged-reading format utilizing The Caryl Crane Youth Theatre troupe of teen actors. During this free festival, the finalists will be evaluated by a panel of industry professionals, our teen festival participants, and with an audience vote. The three votes are combined and a Festival Winner will be chosen. That winning work will receive a $500 check from this year’s festival sponsor, The Huron Eagles, and an offer of a three-week workshop in the CCYT 2015-2016 season.

Performances of President Mom are April 29, 30 and May 2 at 7:30 pm. President Mom introduces us to Claire McCallister, a typical teenage girl. She is stressed out about her bio exam and even more about finding a date to her high school's spring dance. This would be tough for anyone to handle, but Claire's mother just happens to be The President of the United States. When Claire's Mom offers her the chance of a lifetime, to meet her rockstar idol, Claire jumps at the chance. The catch: Claire has to take Brent Baumgartner, the nerdiest boy in school, to the dance. Still, she agrees to go along with her Mom's scheme, until a European Prince arrives and turns Claire's world upside-‐down. All tickets for President Mom are $10. Tickets may be purchased by calling 419.626.1950, or online at www.sanduskystate.com<http://www.sanduskystate.com/>. - - - - - - The 3 plays/musicals to be presented during the 2014 Ronald M.
