The show was part of The Old Mill Theatre (South Perth) season for 2013. This pay was the first one off the block for the year. I am so happy how the show turned out!!
From the start of the process I was extremely lucky, being able to find the perfect cast! All 6 cast members brought buckets of talent, experience and patience to the production. It was a joy to work with the cast and crew at the Old Mill Theatre. An easy and hassle free experience rare in theatre these days.
For those of you far away who didn't get to see the show it was about the night before a wedding. The 2 bridesmaids know a secret about the groom and argue wether to tell the bride this secret or not. In the end the bride finds out that the groom as been having an affair with a friend of hers hours before the wedding. Its a comedy so all of this get revealed in a humours way. In the end the friend who had been cheating with the groom gets made a last minute bridesmaid and the groom see's his worst nightmare coming true when the friend blurts out she was having an affair with the groom and she gets tossed out of the hotel room in her underwear after having the bridesmaids dress ripped off her by the other bridesmaid and mother of the bride. The groom then tries to explain why he did it.. to the chagrin of the females in the audience... Every night the audience laughed and yelled out comments to the groom. On opening night he even got boo'ed, he was not a likeable character but the actor handled it well!!! People seemed to love the show, and it was great to see all that hard work pay off..
For the set we had a luxury hotel room complete with a minibar. Many thanks to friends who helped me build and dress this set. It really gave the actresses and actors the perfect place to perform this hilarious show!!
The icing on top was that my parents traveled out from Indiana to see the show here in Perth and they came along on closing night and had a great time! I feel so blessed!!
Thanks Mom and Dad I am so glad I got to share this with you!
