DEARLY BELOVED By Jamie Wooten, Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope opens this Thurdsday, September 8! Dave MacKeigan takes to the director’s chair again as the sisters Futrelle do their best to pull off a wedding for Tina Jo. Its Antebellum theme clashes a bit with a potluck reception, but that’s the least of the problems. Hilarity rules as secrets, suspicions, jealousies and ancient history rear their heads and threaten to dislodge the day. The mother of the groom throws an unexpected curve, but is derailed herself when the happy couple goes AWOL. The sisters pull together to find ways to keep unsuspecting guests in the pews while the local police officer tries to track down the runaway bride and groom. This fast paced, wacky look at life in Fayro is absolutely priceless! The cast: David Boyce, Deb Burrow, Judy MacKeigan, Jonathan McCleery, Jacob Miller, Pat Price, Kristina Rivera, Jeanine Surace, Michael Strama, and Dawn Watson Calling all storytellers!!! That most wonderful time of the year is fast approaching and Workshop Players wants to celebrate it by doing a show!
