It's Just a Wedding at Santa Monica Playhouse - The Other Space

Santa Monica Playhouse is excited to present the world premiere of Cabrina Peer’s delightfully intriguing It’s Just a Wedding to support the Save the Main Stage Campaign.

Step into the wonderfully chaotic world of "It’s Just a Wedding," a black comedy that captures the essence of a generation navigating love and friendship during the early 2000s recession. Follow a tight-knit group of college friends as they reunite and untangle the complexities of their relationships. With an unexpected engagement sparking waves of chaos, the countdown to the wedding becomes a rollercoaster of calamities and surprising revelations. In a world where nothing seems certain, alliances shift and secrets unravel. Who will stand as friend or foe?

Written by Cabrina Peer. Directed by Oliver Klein. Featuring Theresa Croft, Ari Kraiman, Vansh Sha, Alyssa Gonzalez, Avery Barrett, Eve Cuccaro, Jay Whitmore, Matthew Flynn, Charlie Trepany, Sagar Surana, Joel Lingaur, Andrew Phillips, Myles Brown.

Rated: 16+
