Vintage Theatre presents "UNMarried in America" May 8 through June 21 at Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St., Aurora 80010. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
While transcribing the Prop 8 Trial to reverse California''s gay marriage ban, a court reporter begins to question her own casual and intimate relationships -- and to reassess the laws and cultural norms that keep so many people "unmarried in America." Meanwhile, outside the halls of justice, heated "trials" are taking place in the court of public opinion, which is always in session in America''s homes, schools and churches.
The cast includes Dan Kopper (Dad), Suzanna Wellens (Mom), Zach Nick (Son), Jeff Jesmer (Gary), Christian Munck (Chet), Missy Moore (Gina), Kelly Uhlenhopp (Karen), Tom Auclair (Boyfriend) and Julie Wolf Butters (Court Reporter).
"UNMarried in America" was written by Glenwood Springs playwright and Colorado Mountain College adjunct instructor Kristin (K.D.) Carlson and presented as a staged reading at Colorado Mountain College-Spring Valley in September 2011 and at Aspen''s Wheeler Opera House in January 2012.
Playwright Kristin Carlson will be holding talk backs on opening and closing weekends. On May 29 & 30 Kristin will be joined by Ryan Kendall. Ryan was one of the original witnesses at the Prop 8 trial and urged voters to make it illegal to use "reversal" or "reparation" therapy on minors.
